Horse kicks, anthrax and the Poisson model for deaths.

چکیده
Most epidemiologists use the Poisson model for deaths. In the old days we used it (and a slide rule) to calculate the standard errors of death rates and indirect standard mortality ratios. Now you can get exact limits from the Internet and Poisson regression analysis has made multivariate analyses of mortality and incidence data possible. It seems reasonable to ask who first introduced the model. 1

متن کاملUpdating perspectives on the initiation of Bacillus anthracis growth and dissemination through its host.
Since 1957, it has been proposed that the dissemination of inhalational anthrax required spores to be transported from the lumena of the lungs into the lymphatic system. In 2002, this idea was expanded to state that alveolar macrophages act as a "Trojan horse" capable of transporting spores across the lung epithelium into draining mediastinal lymph nodes. Since then, the Trojan horse model of d...
متن کاملModeling Count Data
Count models are a subset of discrete response regression models. Count data are distributed as non-negative integers, are intrinsically heteroskedastic, right skewed, and have a variance that increases with the mean. Example count data include such situations as length of hospital stay, the number of a certain species of fish per defined area in the ocean, the number of lights displayed by fir...
