Bivariate Poisson Regression in R?

Question

I found a package \'bivpois\' for R which evaluates a model for two related poisson processes (for example, the number of goals by the home and the away team in a soccer game).

Answer 1

While CRAN does not host a current binary of bivpois, you can build the package from the archived source code (see http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Checking-and-building-packages ). Building bivpois 0.50-3.1 from source (available at http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/bivpois/) works for me on R 2.15.0 Windows x64. The zipped Windows binary I built is available here: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/jthetzel-public/bivpois_0.50-3.1.zip .
