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 your second question, I'm not sure that's possible, for any

I am running a zero inflated regression using the zeroinfl function similar to the model below: fm_zinb2 <- zeroinfl(art ~ . | ., data = bioChemists, dist = "poisson") summary(fm_zinb2) I have three questions: 1) How can I obtain a value for the parameter pie, which is the fraction of the population that is in the zero inflated model vs the fraction in the count model? 2) For

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.

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

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

Hi Tim This is brilliant - thank you!! I've had to tweak the basePath line a bit (I am on a Linux machine), but having done that, the code works as intended. This is a truly helpful contribution that gives me ideas about how to work it through for the missing fields, which is one of the major sticking points I kept bumping up against. Thank you so much for this. All the best Andy On

Dear R helpers, running the following code of a glm model of the family poisson, gives predicted values < 0. Why? library(MASS) library(stats) library(mvtnorm) library(pscl) data(bioChemists) poisson_glm <- glm(art ~ fem + mar + kid5 + phd + ment, data = bioChemists, family = poisson) predicted.values = predict(poisson_glm) range(predicted.values) Thank you in advance for any hints.

Hi all-- I am in the process of helping colleagues write up a ms in which we fit zero-inflated Poisson models. I would prefer plotting the rate ratios and 95% CI (as I've found Gelman and others convincing about plotting tables...), but our journals usually like the numbers themselves. Thus, I'm looking at a recent JAMA article in which both numbers and dotplot of RR and 95% CI are

Dear All,   I am using the following model equation:   k*(lambertW_base(b=0,((a)/k)*exp(((a)-z*(t-t0))/k)))   I would like to run this through OpenBUGS, but it does not recognize the lambert function. Would you have any thoughts on how to re-vrite this equation matemathically so that it could be run on OpenBUGS?   apreciate the help,   Sincerely,   Andrs [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello ; I am doing a regression of count data (number of award and there are some covariates) I have estiamted the parameters of negative binomial distribuion (lambda is a function of covaraites, GLM model) by glm.nb function and training dataset. Now I want to predict the number of award (for example y=0, y=1, y=2,) or testing dataset. I dont know how to calculate this numbers? I would be very

Good Day All, I have a negative binomial model which I have developed using the MASS library. I now would like to develop some predictions from it. Running the predict.glm (stats library) using type="response" gives me a non-integer value which was rather puzzling. I would like to confirm that this is actually the mean predicted value of the probability mass function as opposed

Please help getting the R squared value in asymptotic regression model I use the code below model1<-nls(GN1~SSasymp (nrate,a,b,c), data = data.1 ) and R produced the modell coefficients without the R squared value? -- Ahmed M.

Dear list, I'm currently trying to develop a model to assess clam yield potential in a lagoon. I'm using the zeroinfl function of the pscl package to fit a Zero-inflated negative binomial model, given the high occurrence of zero counts. I don't understand from the sentence in the pscl guide "Zero-inflated count models are a type of two-component mixture model, with a component

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

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 elevation (Elev) and Treatment

Hello List does anyone have an R function for the Lambert W function? I need complex arguments.

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 <- runif(100) # x

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

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 =

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 number = 1.91306e-34 When I
