 Poisson exposure model (source code)

= Poisson exposure model
{c}

For fixed exposures $x_i\geq0$, a Poisson exposure model takes independent observations
$$
Y_i\sim\operatorname{Poisson}(\theta x_i).
$$
It has mean and variance $\theta x_i$ and is therefore heteroscedastic when the exposures differ.
