Maximum likelihood estimation in case of a Poisson or Gamma distribution with loglinear parametrization for the mean is quite akin. The asymptotic variance-covariance matrix for the maximum likelihood estimator is derived as well as a linear estimator, which can serve as a starting value for the nonlinear search procedure.
