Exercise

Fitting negative binomial

The negative binomial allows for the variance to exceed the mean, which is what you have measured in the previous exercise in your data crab. In this exercise you will recall the previous fit of the Poisson regression using the log link function and additionally fit negative binomial model also using the log link function.

You will analyze and see how the statistical measures were changed.

The model crab_pois and crab is loaded in your workspace.
