Title: Distributional theory for the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution
Authors: Robert Gaunt - The University of Manchester (United Kingdom) [presenting]
Abstract: The Conway-Maxwell-Poisson (CMP) distribution is a two-parameter generalization of the Poisson distribution that can be used to model data that are under- or over-dispersed relative to the Poisson distribution. It is particularly widely used in modelling count data. A review of some of the most important distributional properties of the CMP distribution is provided, with a particular focus on the matter of approximating the normalizing constant.
