Using estimation of demand for the George Washington/Jefferson NationalForest as a case study, it is shown that in a stratified/clustered on-sitesample, latent heterogeneity needs to be accounted for twice: first to accountfor dispersion in the data caused by unobservability of the process that...

-inflated models in which overdispersion is assumed to be caused by an excessive number of zeros are discussed. In addition to ZIGP … regression introduced by Famoye and Singh (2003), we now allow for regression on the overdispersion and zero-inflation parameters …

Predicting abundance across a species' distribution is useful for studies of ecology and biodiversity management. Modeling of survey data in relation to environmental variables can be a powerful method for extrapolating abundances across a species' distribution and, consequently, calculating...

When modelling insurance claim count data, the actuary often observes overdispersion and an excess of zeros that may be … caused by unobserved heterogeneity. A common approach to accounting for overdispersion is to consider models with some … models. This approach has interesting features: first, it allows for overdispersion and the zero-inflated model represents a …

We discuss robust estimation of INARCH models for count time series, where each observation conditionally on its past follows a negative binomial distribution with a constant scale parameter, and the conditional mean depends linearly on previous observations. We develop several robust...

Applications of zero-inflated count data models have proliferated in empirical economic research. There is a downside to this development, as zero-inflated Poisson or zero-inflated Negative Binomial Maximum Likelihood estimators are not robust to misspecification. In contrast, simple Poisson...
