Episode 8: Poisson Regressions (Finally)

About this episode

Caitlin, Scott, and Claude discuss Poisson regressions related to marriage and abortion provider access in Texas.

This week, Caitlin and Scott and Claude debate what a regression is, and then run some poisson regressions of county level marriages in Texas onto travel distance to the nearest county with an abortion provider! If that doesn’t get your heart beating fast, you should go to the doctor because you may be dead! This is a fun episode and hope you like it!
