In this study, models that provide more satisfactory statistical fit for data and factors that a ect infant and maternal mortality rates in Nigeria are presented. Models that detect and correct overdispersion in data are used to analyze the data provided by the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria. Some of the models considered are Poisson, Poiss...
