| Abstract | The current study examines three regression models: OLS (ordinary least square) linear regression, Poisson regression, and negative binomial regression for analyzing count data. Simulation results show that the OLS regression model performed better than the others, since it did not produce more false statistically significant relationships than expected by chance at alpha levels 0.05 and 0.01. The Poisson regression model produced fewer Type I errors than expected at alpha levels 0.05 and 0.01. The negative binomial regression model produced more Type I errors at both 0.05 and 0.01 alpha levels, but it did not produce more incorrect statistically significant relationships than expected by chance as the sample sizes increased. (Contains 19 tables and 7 figures.) (As Provided). |
