similar to: Interpreting the results of the zero inflated negative binomial regression

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 =

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

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

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

Dear all, I am modeling the incidence of recreational anglers along a stretch of coastline, and with a vary large proportion of zeros (>80%) have chosen to use a zero inflated negative binomial (ZINB) distribution. I am using the same variables for both parts of the model, can anyone help me with R code to compute overall marginal effects of each variable? My model is specified as follows:

Dear All, I am using the function vuong from pscl package to compare 2 non nested models NB1 (negative binomial I ) and Zero-inflated model. NB1 <-  glm(, , family = quasipoisson), it is an object of class: "glm" "lm" zinb <- zeroinfl( dist = "negbin") is an object of class: "zeroinfl"   when applying vuong function I get the following: vuong(NB1,

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

Dear Mr. or Ms.,   I used the R-software to run the zero-inflatoin negative binomial model (zeroinfl()) .   Firstly, I introduced one dummy variable to the model as an independent variable, and I got the estimators of parameters. But the results are not satisfied to me. So I introduced three dummy variables to the model. but I could not get the results. And the error message is

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

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 dependent variable y: Y 0 1 2 3 359 52 7 3 generating

Dear Mr.Zeileis & all. (1)     Thx for your reply. Yes, I am talk about the function zeroinfl() from the package "pscl". I want to use Newton Raphson to get parameter             estimation ZINB, so I try this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------         > zinb <- zeroinfl(y

I would like to test in R what regression fits my data best. My dependent variable is a count, and has a lot of zeros. And I would need some help to determine what model and family to use (poisson or quasipoisson, or zero-inflated poisson regression), and how to test the assumptions. 1) Poisson Regression: as far as I understand, the strong assumption is that dependent variable mean = variance.

Sorry bit of a Newbie question, and I promise I have searched the forum already, but I'm getting a bit desperate! I have over-dispersed, zero inflated data, with variance greater than the mean, suggesting Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial - which I attempted in R with the pscl package suggested on http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/R/dae/zinbreg.htm However my data is non-integer with some pesky

Hi all, First post for me here, but I have been reading on the forum for almost two years now. Thanks to everyone who contributed btw! I have a dataset of 4000 observations of count of a mammal and I am trying to predict abundance from a inflated-zero model as there is quite a bit of zeros in the response variable. I have tried multiple options, but I might do something wrong as every

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

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

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

Dear all, I'm using zeroinfl() from the pscl-package for zero inflated Poisson regression. I would like to calculate (aproximate) prediction intervals for the fitted values. The package itself does not provide them. Can this be calculated analyticaly? Or do I have to use bootstrap? What I tried until now is to use bootstrap to estimate these intervals. Any comments on the code are welcome.

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

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
