Dear all, A question related to the following has been asked on R-help before, but I could not find any answer to it. Input will be much appreciated. I got an unexpected sign of the "slope" parameter associated with a covariate (diam) using zeroinfl(). It led me to compare the estimates given by zeroinfl() and hurdle(): The (significant) negative estimate here is surprising, given the biology of the species: > summary(zeroinfl(bnl ~ 1| diam, dist = "poisson", data = valdaekar, EM = TRUE)) Count model coefficients (poisson wi...

Hello, I?m using zero-inflated Poisson regression via the zeroinfl() function to analyze data on seed-set of plants, but for some reason, I don?t seem to be getting the output for all three levels of my two categorical predictors. More about my data and model: My response variable is the number of viable seeds (AVInt), and my two categorical predictors are eleva...

Hello all: I have a question regarding the fitted.values returned from the zeroinfl() function. The values seem to be nearly identical to those fitted.values returned by the ordinary glm(). Why is this, shouldn't they be more "zero-inflated"? I construct a zero-inflated series of counts, called Y, like so: b= as.vector(c(1.5, -2)) g= as.vector(c(-3, 1)) x <- r...

Hi all, I have been trying to use zeroinfl() with the pscl package with R version 2.1.1. and with the newest versions of the contrib packages compatible with R 2.1.1. I have read the examples, the vignette and all the posts relating to zeroinfl() but I am still confused as to how to structure the model. Here is a small example; the error...

Dear R-helpers, running a zeroinflated model of the following type: zinb = zeroinfl(count=response ~., x = ~ . - response, z = ~. - response, dist = "negbin", data = t.data, trace = TRUE) generates the following message: Zero-Inflated Count Model Using logit to model zero vs non-zero Using Negative Binomial for counts dep...

I'm trying to fit a zero-inflated poisson model using zeroinfl() from the pscl library. It works fine for most models I try, but when I include either of 2 covariates, I get an error. When I include "PopulationDensity", I get this error: Error in solve.default (as.matrix(fit$hessian)) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition...

Hi Just a quick problem that I hope is simple to resolve. I'm doing some work with zero inflated poisson models using the pscl package. I can build models using zeroinfl and get outputs fom them with no problem, but when I try to use the predict.zeroinfl function, I get Error: could not find function "predict.zeroinfl". I was using an older version of R, but still had the same problem when I installed 2.15.2. I'm also using R studio 0.95.263 and a...

Good afternoon, I?m in need of an advice regarding a proper use of glm.nb, zeroinfl or hurdle with my dataframe. I can not provide a self-contained example, since I need an advice on this current dataset and its ?contradictory? results. So.... i have a dataset which contains 1309 cases and 11 variables, highly right-skewed and heavily zeroinflated (with over 1100 cases that ha...

Dear list, I'm wondering if anyone can help me calculate the deviance of either a zeroinfl or hurdle model from package pscl? Even if someone could point me to the correct formula for calculating the deviance, I could do the rest on my own. I am trying to calculate a pseudo-R-squared measure based on the R^{2}_{DEV} of [1], so I need to be able to calculate the deviance of the full and...

Dear R-Helpers, Can anyone please help me to interpret warning messages from zeroinfl (package pscl) while fitting a zero inflated negative binomial model? The console reports convergence and the parameters seam reasonable, but these <<Warning messages: 1: algorithm did not converge in: glm.fit(X, Y, family = poisson()) 2: fitted rates numerically 0 occurred in: glm.fit(X,...

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...

...ave NA's for standard errors: The hessians also have NaN's (same for m2 and m3). What should I do about it? It there a way to obtain the hessian without transforming my variables? I will greatly appreciate your help! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/zeroinfl-problem-cannot-get-standard-errors-hessian-has-NaN-tp4637715.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Dear R Users, When using zeroinfl() function to fit a Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) model to a dataset, the summary() gives an estimate of log(theta) and its standard error, z-value and Pr(>|z|) for the count component. Additionally, it also provided an estimate of Theta, which I believe is the exp(estimate of log(theta...

...association between these two variables, i.e. how well does chick size predict tape intensity? Since I have a small sample size, I fit a zero inflated negat. Binomial (not Poisson) model using the "pscl" package. I built tried two models and got the outputs below. > model <- zeroinfl(Int_Cesto ~ CAPI, dist = "negbin", EM = TRUE) Call: zeroinfl(formula = Int_Cesto ~ CAPI, dist = "negbin", EM = TRUE) Count model coefficients (negbin with log link): (Intercept) CAPI -2.99182 0.06817 Theta = 0.4528 Zero-inflation model coefficients (bi...

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 = loglikfun, gr = gradfun, par = c(start$count, start$zero, : non-finite value supplied by optim For what I have read I think the problem is that for Year level 3 there is no Trt 1 and for Year level 1 there...

Hello, I have a data frame with 1425 observations, 539 of which are zeros. I am trying to fit the following ZINB: f3<-formula(Nbr_Abs~ Zone * Year + Source) ZINB2<-zeroinfl(f3, dist="negbin", link= "logit", data=TheData, offset=log(trans.area), trace=TRUE) Zone is a factor with 4 levels, Year a factor with 27 levels, and Source a factor with 3 levels. Nbr_Abs is counts of a species that shows a high level of aggregation. These counts are offset by...

Hello, I am working with zero inflated models for a current project and I am getting wildly different results from R's zeroinfl(y ~ x, dist="negbin") command and Stata's zinb command. Does anyone know why this may be? I find it odd considering that zeroinfl(y ~ x, dist="poisson") gives identical to output to Stata's zip function. Thanks, --david [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am attempting to fit a full zero-inflated Poisson model then use backward elimination to arrive at the best-fitting model. When I try to fit the model with zeroinfl() I get this error: Error in while (abs((ll_old - ll_new)/ll_old) > control$reltol) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed Any suggestions? Thanks for your help! Paige Barlow MS Student Virginia Tech Dept Fish and Wildlife

I am fitting a model using zeroinfl() and it runs without errors, returning results that are generally consistent with my hypotheses. One of my variables is percent black (pblack). This variable was highly significant in some of the other count models I ran on the way to my current formulation. It is not significant in this model...

Are you referring to the zeroinfl() function in the countreg package? If so, I think predict(fm_zinb2, type = "zero", newdata = some.new.data) will give you pi for each combination of covariate values that you provide in some.new.data where pi is the probability to observe a zero from the point mass component. As to y...
