Question: Consider a Poisson GLM with the log link and linear predictor of the form Ni = B1 + B2ai, E {1,...n}, = ni where ai

Consider a Poisson GLM with the log link and linear predictor of the form Ni = B1 + B2ai, E {1,...n}, = ni where ai is the value of a factor predictor with two levels, such that ai 1 for {1,... Ni} and ai O for i E {ni + 1, ..., n}. Suppose that at the beginning of the t-th iteration of the Fisher Scoring algorithm (formulated as iterative reweighted least squares), we get B(t+1) (log y2, log yi log y2), 212, Yi, and 72 Yi (t (t+1) - (B**) = 1,84+1)) where yi ni 1 ni 1 n2 vi=ni+1 2 (1) Calculate the remaining part of the iteration step of the algorithm: 7(6+1), 4(t+1), z(t+1), w(t+1), D(t+1), and u(t+1). (2) Does the algorithm terminate after this iteration? Justify your answer. (3) Did the algorithm find the exact solution after this iteration? Justify your answer.
