The document discusses a framework for modeling big count data using an Iterative Reweighted Least Squares (IRLS) approach for Conway-Maxwell Poisson (CMP) regression, which is noteworthy as no IRLS framework previously existed for CMP. It includes a study of a speed dating experiment to analyze gender differences in mate selection, leveraging various statistical models and simulations for comparison. Results highlight significant aspects of the CMP distribution and illustrate methods for optimizing parameters through log-likelihood maximization.
