Dear list, I would like to fit a negative binomial regression model as described in "Byers AL, Allore H, Gill TM, Peduzzi PN., Application of negative binomial modeling for discrete outcomes: a case study in aging research. J Clin Epidemiol. 2003 Jun;56(6):559-64" to my data in which the response is count data. There are also 10 predictors that are count data, and I have also 3

Dear R users, I'm wanting to sample from the negative binomial distribution using the rnegbin function from the MASS library to create artificial samples for the purpose of doing some power calculations. However, I would like to work with samples that come from a negative binomial distribution that includes only values greater than or equal to 1 (a truncated negative binomial), and I

Hi R-Users! I fitted a negative binomial distribution to my count data using the function glm.nb() and obtained the calculated parameters theta (dispersion) and mu. I would like to simulate values from this negative binomial distribution. Looking at the function rnbinom() I was looking at the relationship between the two possible parametrizations of the negative binomial and found that for this

Hi all, I am running the following model: > glm89.nb <- glm.nb(AvGUD ~ Year*Trt*Micro) where Year has 3 levels, Trt has 2 levels and Micro has 3 levels. However when I run it has a zero inflated negative binomial (as I have lots of zeros) I get the below error message: > Zinb <- zeroinfl(AvGUD ~ Year*Trt*Micro |1, data = AvGUD89, dist = "negbin") Error in optim(fn =

Hi, I am new to R and has been depending mostly on the online tutotials to learn R. I have to deal with zero inflated negative binomial distribution. I am however unable to understand the following example from this link http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/r/dae/zinbreg.htm The result gives two blocks. *library(pscl) zinb<-zeroinfl(count ~ child + camper | persons, dist = "negbin", EM =

I need to estimate the parameters for negative binomial distribution (pdf) using maximun likelihood, I also need to estimate the parameter for the Poisson by ML, which can be done by hand, but later I need to conduct a likelihood ratio test between these two distributions and I don't know how to start! I'm not an expert programmer in R. Please help -- View this message in context:

Hi, I want using zero-inflated negative binomial regression model to classify data(a vector of data), that is I want know each observed value is more likely belong to the "zero" or "count" distribution(better with relative probability). My data is some like: count site samp 12909 1 1 602 1 2 50 1 3 1218 1 4 91291 1 5

Hello, I am having a problem with the zero-inflated negative binomial (package pscl). I have 6 sites with plant populations, and I am trying to model the number of seeds produced as a function of their size and their site. There are a lot of zero's because many of my plants get eaten before flowering, thereby producing 0 seeds, and that varies by site. Because of that and because the

Hi! I'm running a zero-inflated negative binomial regression on a large (n=54822) set of confidential data. I'm using the code: ZerNegBinRegress<-zeroinfl(Paper~.|., data=OvsP, dist="negbin", EM=TRUE) And keep getting the error: Warning message: glm.fit: fitted probabilities numerically 0 or 1 occurred I've done enough reading about this error to realize that I have

Dear R crew: I think I am in the right mailing list. I have a very simple dataset consisting of two variables: cestode intensity and chick size (defined as CAPI). Intensity is clearly overdispersed, with way too many zeroes. I'm interested in looking at the association between these two variables, i.e. how well does chick size predict tape intensity? I fit a zero inflated negat. binomial

Dear list, I would like to know: 1. After I have used the R code (http://pscl.stanford.edu/zeroinfl.r) to fit a zero-inflated negative binomial model, what criteria I should follow to compare and select the best model (models with different predictors)? 2. How can I compare the model I get from question 1 (zero-inflated negative binomial) to other models like glm family models or a logistic

Dear all, I want to build a model in R based on animal collection data, that look like the following Nr Village District Site Survey Species Count 1 AX A F Dry B 0 2 AY A V Wet A 5 3 BX B F Wet B 1 4 BY B V Dry B 0 Each data point shows one collection unit in a certain Village, District, Site, and Survey for a certain Species. 'Count' is the number of animals collected in that

Using R 1.8.1, and the negative binomial glm implemented in MASS, the default when using anova and a chi-square test is to divide the deviance by the estimated dispersion. Using my UNIX version of S-plus (v 3.4), and the same MASS functions, the deviances are *not* divided by the estimated dispersion. Firstly, I'm wondering if anyone can enlighten about the correct procedure (I thought

Hello I am interested in Poisson or (ideally) Negative Binomial regression with an inflated number of 1 responses I have seen JK Lindsey's fmr function in the gnlm library, which fits zero inflated Poisson (ZIP) or zero inflated negative binomial regression, but the help file states that for ' Poisson or related distributions the mixture involves the zero category'. I had thought

I want to generate 1,000 random samples of sample size=1,000 from ZINB. I know there is a rnegbin() to generate random samples from NB, and I know I can use the following process: do i=1 to 1000 n=0 do i=1 to 1000 if runi(1)>0.1 then x(i) = 0; else x(i)=rnegbin(); n=n+1; if n>1000 then stop; end; output; end; Anybody can help me out with the R code? Thanks very much ahead of time.

Dears useRs, I have 2 factors, (for the sake of explanation - A and B), with 4 levels each. I've already fitted a negative binomial generalized linear model to my data, and now I need to split the factors in two distinct analysis of deviance table:  - A within B1, A within B2, A within B3 and A within B4  - B within A1, B within A2, B within A3 and B within A4 Here is a code that illustrates

I am a novice in R but using R 2.13.1 in Windows I wish to be able to calculate the percentage variation in a zero-inflated negative binomial regression model that is explained by the two predictors in my model. My response variable was no. of dung-piles per km and the predictor of excess zeros was distance to major road (km) . Thanks in advance. Boafo [[alternative HTML version

Hi, I am a little confused at the output from predict() for a zeroinfl object. Here's my confusion: ## From zeroinfl package fm_zinb2 <- zeroinfl(art ~ . | ., data = bioChemists, dist = "negbin") ## The raw zero-inflated overdispersed data > table(bioChemists$art) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 16 19 275 246 178 84 67 27 17 12 1 2 1 1

Hi all-- We are planning an intervention study for adolescent alcohol use, and I am planning to use simulations based on a hurdle model (using the hurdle() function in package pscl) for sample size estimation. The simulation code and power code are below -- note that at the moment the "power" code is just returning the coefficients, as something isn't working quite right. The

Dear R crew: I am sorry this question has been posted before, but I can't seem to solve this problem yet. I have a simple dataset consisting of two variables: cestode intensity and chick size (defined as CAPI). Intensity is a count and clearly overdispersed, with way too many zeroes. I'm interested in looking at the association between these two variables, i.e. how well does chick
