Check for confidence intervals
Age accounts for about 37.9% of the variability in Gesell score
The regression model is significant, F(1,19) = 13.202, p = .002
The regression equation:
Y’=109.874-1.127X
Age is a significant predictor, t(9)=-3.633, p=.002. As age in months at first word increases by 1 month, the Gesell score is estimated to
decrease by about 1.127 points (95% CI: -1.776, -.478)

Fit a Poisson loglinear model:
log(Y/pop) = + 1(Fredericia) + 2(Horsens) + 3(Kolding) + 4(Age)

City doesn’t seem to be a significant predictor, City doesn’t seem to be a significant predictor, whereas Age does.whereas Age does.
G2 = 46.45, df = 19, p < .01
Plot of the observed vs. fitted values--obviously model not fit
Fit another Poisson model:
log(Y/pop) = +1(Fredericia) + 2(Horsens) + 3(Kolding) + 4(Age) + 5(Age)2
Both (Age) and (Age)2 are significant predictors.
Plot of the observed vs. fitted values: model fits better
Fit a third Poisson model (simpler):
log(Y/pop) = + 1(Fredericia) + 2(Age) + 3(Age)2
All three predictors are significant.
Plot of the observed vs. fitted values: much simpler model
