• Goodness of fit
• Poisson regression model
• Power rates
• Type I error

Count data consists of discrete non-negative integer values. Poisson regression model is one of the most popular model used to model count data. This model assumes that response variable has Poisson distribution. The purpose of this article is to assess distributional assumption of this model by using some goodness of fit tests. These tests are compared in respect to type I error and power rates of tests with different samples, parameters and sample sizes. Simulation study suggests that the most powerful tests are generally Dean-Lawless and Cameron-Trivedi score tests.
