Bohning's test for overdispersion of Poisson data
A test for overdispersion of Poisson data.
epi.bohning(obs, exp, alpha = 0.05)
obs |
the observed number of cases in each area. |
exp |
the expected number of cases in each area. |
alpha |
alpha level to be used for the test of significance. Must be a single number between 0 and 1. |
A data frame with two elements: test.statistic, Bohning's test statistic and p.value the associated P-value.
