Statistical Methods for Overdispersed Count Data provides a review of the most recent methods and models for such data, including a description of R functions and packages that allow their implementation. All methods are illustrated on datasets arising in the field of health economics. As several tools have been developed to tackle over-dispersed and zero-inflated data (such as adjustment methods and zero-inflated models), this book covers the topic in a comprehensive and interesting manner.

1. A Brief Overview of Linear Models 2. Generalized Linear Models 3. Overdispersion in Count Data 4. Count Data and Zero Inflation

Students in statistics, biostatistics, econometrics and professional statisticians with interest in the analysis of count data
Non-statisticians with skills in R softwares (economists, decision-makers in public health…)
