'This book is a terrific one-stop-shop for 'everything COM-Poisson', not only integrating theoretical knowledge around the Conway-Maxwell Poisson distribution and its uses, but also providing practical notes and tips for applying the various relevant R libraries. Researchers and practitioners modeling count data or developing tools for modeling count data should find this book highly useful.' Galit Shmueli, National Tsing Hua University
