Modelling Tobacco Consumption with a Zero-Inflated Ordered Probit Model
Data for discrete ordered random variables are often characterised by “excessive” zero observations. Traditional ordered probit models have limited capacity in explaining the preponderance of zero observations, especially when the zeros may relate to two distinct situations of non-participation and infrequent participation (or consumption), for example. We propose a zero-inflated ordered probit...
متن کاملModels for Ordered Outcomes
Often dependent variables are ordinal, but are not continuous in the sense that the metric used to code the variables is substantively meaningful. For instance, it is customary to employ a 7-point scale when measuring partyidentification in the U.S., assigning the numerals {0, . . . , 6} to the categories {‘‘Strong Republican’’, ‘‘Weak Republican’’, . . ., ‘‘Strong Democrat’’}. But the metric u...
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 کاملAn Inflated Ordered Probit Model of Monetary Policy: Evidence from MPC Voting Data∗
Even in the face of a continuously changing economic environment, interest rates often remain unadjusted for long periods. When rates are moved, the norm is for a series of small unidirectional discrete basis-point changes. To explain these phenomena we suggest a two-equation system combining a “long-run” equation explaining a binary decision to change or not change the interest-rate, and a “sh...
متن کاملProfiles of Inflated Surfaces
We study the shape of inflated surfaces introduced in [B1] and [P1]. More precisely, we analyze profiles of surfaces obtained by inflating a convex polyhedron, or more generally an almost everywhere flat surface, with a symmetry plane. We show that such profiles are in a one-parameter family of curves which we describe explicitly as the solutions of a certain differential equation.
