Resumen

BONILLA, Roger E.. Use of the Poisson log-linear model for the study of homicides against young nicaraguan immigrants in Costa Rica. PSM [online]. 2017, vol.14, n.2, pp.25-39. ISSN 1659-0201.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/psm.v14i2.27244.

Objective:

To describe the homicides rate for young Nicaraguan immigrants in Costa Rica.

Methods:

We used a Poisson log-linear regression model at small administrative areas-level to describe the homicides rate for young Nicaraguan immigrants in Costa Rica, given the co-variables (Agresti, 2002; Cameron y Trivedi, 1998; Neter, Wasserman, Kutner & Nachtsheim, 1996).Results: Incidence rate for percentage of poor households, percentage of adults 35 years-old and more, and the percentage of the population on the service sector of the economy are 1.04, 1.05 and 1.05 respectively.

Conclusions:

Poverty, population structure and economic activities of the service sector of the economy are the co-variables that best describe the homicides rate for young Nicaraguan immigrants in Costa Rica.
