Marginal and conditional slopes agree for an independent log-link random intercept by

For a conditional count mean , suppose the distribution of is independent of the covariates and has finite . Integrating over gives the displayed logarithmic link function mean: every slope stays unchanged, and only the intercept shifts. This is an exact property of the log link; it does not hold in this form for the logit.
