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, Y, family =

Hi all, I'm trying to run some monte carlo simulation for my roll call data using the ideal() function, which resides in the pscl package. However, I'm receiving an error message that I don't understand. Error in ideal(a, maxiter = 1000, thin = 10, burnin = 50, store.item = TRUE, : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 13) my code is simple the following: > m_a <-

Dear R users, I want to apply zero inflated models with continuous and categorical variables and I used pscl package from R and the zeroinf() function. My question are the follow: a) The value of fitted.values is mu or (1-p)*mu? where p is the probability of zero came form a zero point mass b) If mu is zero, how do i know if it is a zero from the zero point mass or from the count process?

Hi, This may be such a general question that my searches are just failing. I installed the pscl lib, all appears fine, installed it several different ways to be sure, but I am getting: Error: could not find function "zeroinfl" I double checked my spelling of the function and that it had not been evolved out of the package. It is in the same location as the other libraries that are

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

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

I have some questions regarding Zero Inflation Poisson models. I am using count data to analyze abundance trends of salamanders. However, I have surveys which differ in the amount of effort (i.e. the number of people searching and amount of time - I am using a museum database so not all surveys were conducted by me). Therefore I need to account for the effort. If change the count (response

This request is related to the following post from last year: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2011-June/279752.html After reading the thread, the idea is still not clear. I have fitted a model using HURDLE from the PSCL package. I am trying to get marginal effects / slopes by multiplying the coefficients by the mean of the marginal effects (I think this is right). To my understanding, this
