Hurdle Poisson Model Outperforms in Diphtheria Disease Modeling in West Sumatra
The researchers studied diphtheria cases in West Sumatra in 2018 using different models to analyze the data. They found that the Hurdle Poisson model performed better than other models in handling overdispersion due to excess zero counts. This means that the Hurdle Poisson model is more effective for this type of analysis compared to other models like Zero Inflated Poisson and Negative Binomial models.
