Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze data by using the quasi-likelihood/ moment method for estimating the parameters of the generalized Poisson regression model, the restricted generalized Poisson regression model and the mixed Poisson regression models. For this purpose, cancer mortality rates for 1990, 1991 and 1992 obtained from the Journal of the Turkish Association for Cancer Research and Control are used and are divided into subgroups according to age and sex.
