Conditional and Unconditional Tests for Comparing Several Poisson Means 3 2 The Tests
In this article, we consider the problem of testing equality of several Poisson means. Two tests, one based on the exact conditional distribution of the sample counts and another based on the…
A comparative study of tests for the difference of two Poisson means
Testing the Ratio of Two Poisson Rates
TLDR
Four different general approaches for testing the ratio of two Poisson rates are compared and some recommendations favoring the likelihood ratio and certain asymptotic tests are based on these simulation results.

On a Test of the Difference between Two Binomial Proportions
The problem of testing for the equality of the proportions of two independent binomial populations is covered in the literature by a very extensive research. The most popular procedures are Fisher's…
Parametric bootstrap and approximate tests for two Poisson variates
The parametric bootstrap tests and the asymptotic or approximate tests for detecting difference of two Poisson means are compared. The test statistics used are the Wald statistics with and without…
Exact unconditional testing procedures for comparing two independent Poisson rates
We consider seven exact unconditional testing procedures for comparing adjusted incidence rates between two groups from a Poisson process. Exact tests are always preferable due to the guarantee of…

TLDR
It is shown how the construction of a Poisson-Boschloo type test extends to the case that interest is in establishing equivalence in the strict, two-sided sense rather than noninferiority, and compares the resulting test procedure in terms of power with the exact randomized UMPU test.
A revisit to testing the equality of several Poisson parameters
TLDR
This paper has proposed a few new test procedures based on two broad adjustments, namely (i) using different 'metrics' which measure deviation of the model parameters from the null hypothesis; and (ii) using shrinkage estimators in the aforementioned 'Metrics'.
