Tweedie Model for Predicting Factors Associated with Distance Traveled to Access Inpatient Services in Kenya

Figure 2

The profile log-likelihood plots for the distance traveled for inpatient care in Kenya using the gender of the household head, household size, and education as covariates. The points on the line show the computed likelihood values for different estimates, while the solid line represents the cubic-spline smooth interpolation through the points. This plot was used to estimate the maximum likelihood value of as 1.63 with the 95% confidence interval (C.I.) between 1.59 and 1.67.
