This article presents a tutorial on statistical methods for positively skewed event data, including Poisson, negative binomial, zero-inflated Poisson, and zero-inflated negative binomial regression models. I would like to test for both main effects and an interaction term on gene expression using a negative binomial regression model, but I see that others prefer a Poisson model.

The negative binomial distribution gets in statistical in negative binomial regression. When such situations arise, use of negative binomial regression is suggested. This second edition of Hilbe's Negative Binomial Regression is a substantial enhancement to the popular first edition. Intent-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol population analyses were conducted, and the number of VAP episodes was evaluated using negative binomial regression. Abstract: The Poisson or negative binomial regression model has been employed to analyze vehicle accident frequency for many years. The Poisson distribution is simply one case of the Negative Binomial distribution. The regression model correctly identifies the not actively expressed class of genes and thus, provides an operational criterion for classifying genes in expressed and non-expressed sets, facilitating the interpretation of RNA-Seq data. However, such data occur frequently in practice. Ratio of deviance to its degrees of freedom is a statistic used to understand overdisperion. If this ratio is equal to 1, then there is no overdispersion. In practice, we often find that count data is not well modeled by Poisson regression, though Poisson models are often presented as the natural approach for such data. A common, more general model is the Negative Binomial model. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is the current technology of choice for characterizing transcriptomes and quantifying gene expression changes. So, there's no use in trying to model multi-modal data using a Poisson regression model, or a Negative Binomial regression model, for example. Many regression techniques like linear regression or neural networks assume the data is Gaussian, but it's clear our data isn't. Biostatisticians and health researchers suggested I use negative binomial regression even when I objected that the process was not the gamma mixture of Poissons that negative binomial regression assumes.
