Comment: Analyzing propensity score matched count data.
We offer an explanation to the simulation result of Austin (2009) regarding rate ratios, and argue that unmatched analysis of propensity score matched count data results in conservative statistical inferences on the rate ratios.
متن کاملVariance Components Genetic Association Test for Zero-inflated Count Outcomes
Commonly in biomedical research, studies collect data in which an outcome measure contains informative excess zeros; for example when observing the burden of neuritic plaques in brain pathology studies, those who show none contribute to our understanding of neurodegenerative disease. The outcome may be characterized by a mixture distribution with one component being the ‘structural zero’ and th...
متن کاملConsistent estimation of zero-inflated count models.
Applications of zero-inflated count data models have proliferated in health economics. However, zero-inflated Poisson or zero-inflated negative binomial maximum likelihood estimators are not robust to misspecification. This article proposes Poisson quasi-likelihood estimators as an alternative. These estimators are consistent in the presence of excess zeros without having to specify the full di...
متن کاملSemiparametric analysis of zero-inflated count data.
Medical and public health research often involve the analysis of count data that exhibit a substantially large proportion of zeros, such as the number of heart attacks and the number of days of missed primary activities in a given period. A zero-inflated Poisson regression model, which hypothesizes a two-point heterogeneity in the population characterized by a binary random effect, is generally...
متن کاملModeling zero-inflated count data with glmmTMB
Ecological phenomena are often measured in the form of count data. These data can be analyzed using generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) when observations are correlated in ways that require random effects. However, count data are often zero-inflated, containing more zeros than would be expected from the standard error distributions used in GLMMs, e.g., parasite counts may be exactly zero fo...
