Question:

For Table 4.3, Table 4.7 shows SAS output for a Poisson loglinear model fit using X = weight and Y = number of satellites.

a. Estimate E(Y) for female crabs of average weight, 2.44 kg.

b. Use β̂ to describe the weight effect. Show how to construct the reported confidence interval.

c. Construct a Wald test that Y is independent of X. Interpret.

d. Can you conduct a likelihood-ratio test of this hypothesis? If not, what else do you need?

e. Is there evidence of overdispersion? If necessary, adjust standard errors and interpret.


Table 4.3:

Number of Crab Satellites by Female's Characteristics


Table 4.7:
