Poisson regression model is a regression model applied to events that occur in a certain period of time. In this model, the dependent variable consists of discrete count data. In this respect, it is a special type of regression models. Besides, Poisson regression model is one of the generalized linear models and is one of the most commonly used methods in applications. This model is applied for data showing equal spread. However, often the data sets do not meet the assumptions of the Poisson model. Sometimes the data set becomes censored for reasons such as illness, loss of the person or object being observed. If the dependent variable is censored, censored regression models are suitable for modeling over- or under-dispersed count data. In this study, Poisson regression models uncensored and censored are discussed. Both models were compared with IRR (incidence rate ratio), goodness of fit and information criteria. As a result of the study, it is shown that the censored Poisson regression model gives better results if the point to be censored is selected well.
