Fitting a Poisson regression
Continuing with the crab dataset you will fit your first Poisson regression model in this exercise.
The crab dataset has been preloaded in the workspace.

Generalized Linear Models in Python
Extend your regression toolbox with the logistic and Poisson models and learn to train, understand, and validate them, as well as to make predictions.
Here you'll learn about Poisson regression, including the discussion on count data, Poisson distribution and the interpretation of the model fit. You'll also learn how to overcome problems with overdispersion. Finally, you'll get hands-on experience with the process of model visualization.
