Poisson regression
Poisson regression is a statistical technique used to model count data, where the outcome variable represents the number of occurrences of an event within a fixed period of time or space. It assumes that these events follow a Poisson distribution, ____ _______ _______ ___ ____ ______ ________.

Differentiate between Chi-square tests for association and homogeneity of proportions. Also mention the assumptions of these tests.
A study was conducted on 185 patients aged more than 45 years which are followed until the time of death or up to 10 years, whichever comes first. The patients have different covariates: age, gender (male/female), systolic blood pressure, smoking (yes/no), total serum cholesterol and diabetes (yes/no). The objective of this study is to determine which covariate influences the survival time. An analysis is conducted to investigate differences in all-cause mortality between men and women participating in the study. Suppose we obtain the following results after applying the Cox regression hazard model analyses:
| Risk Factor | Parameter Estimate | SE |
| Age | 0.150 | 0.010 |
| Gender | 0.450 | 0.150 |
| Systolic Blood Pressure | 0.015 | 0.008 |
| Smoking | 0.650 | 0.170 |
| Total Serum Cholesterol | 0.002 | 0.004 |
| Diabetes | -0.350 | 0.250 |
Polytomous logistic models
The following data on diagnosis of coronary heart disease (where 0 indicating absence and 1 indicating presence), serum cholesterol (in mg/dl), resting blood pressure (in mmHg) and weight (in kg) were obtained for 80 patients to explore the relationship of coronary heart disease with cholesterol and weight.
| S. No. | Serum Cholesterol (mg/dl) | Weight (kg) | Number of Patients having CHD | Total Number of Patients | |||
