Abstract: | Tests are presented for comparing trends in the rate of occurence of events for two Poisson series. The tests are based on a product model which is similar to the one proposed by Cox 2]. The model allows arbitrary trends in the individual series. Although the density function of the observable variables does not belong to the exponential family, the method often used for exponential families is shown to be applicable for constructing the tests. |
