When computing the variance of a linear combination of the coefficients from a
Poisson regression (i.e. glm with log link and offset) should one use the
scaled or unscaled covariance matrix? For a simple linear regression (i.e. lm),
I believe we use the unscaled matrix; for Poisson regression I believe we use
the scaled matrix.
Questions: (1) Am I correct about the use of the scaled matrix for the Poisson
regression?
(2) What is the difference between the scaled and unscaled
matrices?
Thanks,
John
