Abstract:
This article constructs a new model based on multivariate adaptive generalized Poisson regression splines (MAGPRS) and geographically weighted generalized Poisson regression (GWGPR), which is known as multivariate adaptive geographically weighted generalized Poisson regression splines (MAGWGPRS). The article elaborates the steps of weighted maximum likelihood estimation (weighted-MLE) to obtain the estimated values of its parameters. MAGWGPRS and MAGPRS were applied to the number of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) cases in 119 districts or cities in Java, Indonesia, in 2020, to compare their performance. The fitted value plot versus actual data and a comparison of the mean square error (MSE) value demonstrate the goodness of the two models. The best MAGWGPRS model for each location was obtained, and only one the best MAGPRS model for all locations was acquired. Based on the plot results of the fitted value with the actual data and MSE value, MAGWGPRS is determined to be superior to MAGPRS.

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data
Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.

Weibull Distribution
The Weibull distribution is a flexible model used in parametric survival analysis. It can handle both increasing and decreasing hazard rates, depending on its shape parameter...

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
