Exploiting a matrix identity in the computation of the efficient score test for overdispersion in the Poisson regression model

Abstract

The efficient score test for overdispersion in the Poisson regression model is derived explicitly, and it is shown that by virtue of a particular matrix identity, the test has a surprisingly simple form provided the Poisson regression contains an intercept. It is also pointed out that the test is inherently one-tailed.
