Poisson Regression: Influence Factors of Traffic Accidents in Algeria

Abstract

The objective of the study is to explain the effect of several factors on the increase or decrease in the number of traffic accidents. To achieve this objective, we used the Poisson regression model. We analyzed the road accident database in the JIJEL province in Algeria during the year 2022. This database was created by the national gendarmerie group in JIJEL. Statistical analyses were performed using the R statistical software to interpret the relationship between the occurrence of the accident and the responsible risk factor.
