<![CDATA[Poisson regression is one of the approaches used to model count data. However, this method has an assumption of equidispersion that is not always met in actual data. One problem that often arises is overdispersion, especially when there are excess zeros in the dependent variable. The Mixed Poisson method, namely Zero-Inflated Poisson Inverse Gaussian (ZIPIG) regression is one approach that can be used when there is overdispersion in the data. Parameter estimation in the ZIPIG model is done using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method through Fisher Scoring Algorithm iterations. This study discusses how ZIPIG modeling is used to identify factors that influence the number of malaria cases in Makassar City Health Center in 2021. The results of the analysis show that the independent variables that have a significant effect on the number of malaria cases are the number of family heads with access to proper sanitation facilities (X1) and the presence of public places that meet health requirements (X2).]]>
