Abstract
Counts are commonly collected to determine library usage and have some characteristics that violate assumptions of using linear regression models or statistical techniques to investigate relationships between variables. This presentation will provide an overview of count regression models, including what they are, how they differ from linear regression, and how they can be used to analyze library usage data. Criteria for how to compare statistical models to identify the best one to answer the question being investigated will also be presented.
