Constrained Poisson model / Bayesian Poisson model
Hi all, I am dealing with a problem about my linear Poisson regression model (link function=identity). I am using the glm()-function which results in negative coefficients, but a negative influence of the regressors wouldn't make sense. (i) Is there a possibility to set constraints on the regression parameters in glm() such that all coefficients are positive? Or is there another function in R for which this is possible? (ii) Is there a Bayesian version of the glm()-function where I can specify the prior distribution for my regression parameters? (e.g. a Dirichlet prior s.t. the parameters are positive) All this with respect to the linear Poisson model... Thanks in advance! Best, Mara
