2.4.1 Example: Me<strong>an</strong>s for two groups<br />
For the data on chronic medical conditions the equation in the model<br />
E(Yjk) =θj; Yjk ∼ P oisson(θj),j =1, 2<br />
c<strong>an</strong> be written in the form of (2.13) with g as the identity function, (i.e.,<br />
g(θj) =θj),<br />

The <strong>to</strong>p part of X picks out the terms θ1 corresponding <strong>to</strong> E(Y1k) <strong>an</strong>d the<br />
bot<strong>to</strong>m part picks out θ2 for E(Y2k). With this model the group me<strong>an</strong>s θ1<br />
<strong>an</strong>d θ2 c<strong>an</strong> be estimated <strong>an</strong>d compared.<br />
2.4.2 Example: Simple <strong>linear</strong> regression for two groups<br />
The more general model for the data on birthweight <strong>an</strong>d gestational age is<br />
E(Yjk) =µjk = αj + βjxjk; Yjk ∼ N(µjk,σ 2 ).<br />
This c<strong>an</strong> be written in the form of (2.13) if g is the identity function,<br />

2.4.3 Example: Alternative formulations for comparing the me<strong>an</strong>s of two<br />
groups<br />
There are several alternative ways of formulating the <strong>linear</strong> components for<br />
comparing me<strong>an</strong>s oftwo groups: Y11, ..., Y1K1<strong>an</strong>d Y21, ..., Y2K2.<br />
(a) E(Y1k) =β1, <strong>an</strong>d E(Y2k) =β2.<br />
