17.7 Poisson-log generalized linear model (Poisson regression)

Stan also supplies a single function for a generalized linear model with Poisson likelihood and log link function, i.e. a function for a Poisson regression. This provides a more efficient implementation of Poisson regression than a manually written regression in terms of a Poisson likelihood and matrix multiplication.

17.7.1 Probability mass function

If xRnm,αRn,βRm, then for yNn, PoisonLogGLM(y|x,α,β)=1inPoisson(yi|exp(αi+xiβ)).

17.7.2 Sampling statement

y ~ poisson_log_glm(x, alpha, beta)

Increment target log probability density with poisson_log_glm_lupmf(y | x, alpha, beta).
