Hi all,

I have been trying to use zeroinfl() with the pscl package with R version 2.1.1.

That version is ancient, please upgrade.

and with the newest versions of the contrib packages compatible with R 2.1.1.

A version number for pscl would have been most helpful. I'm pretty sure that this is a version of "pscl" prior to the re-design of the count regression functionality, i.e., a version of the package which does not have the vignette you refer to. Surprisingly, the vignette applies to the version of the package which actually contains the vignette.

In any case, please use the most recent version of pscl.

I have read the examples, the vignette and all the posts relating to zeroinfl() but I am still confused as to how to structure the model.

Here is a small example; the error message is the same for big data sets

library(mvtnorm,lib.loc="C:/Documents and Settings/simonp/My Documents/R backup 
library")

Not needed here.

library(pscl,lib.loc="C:/Documents and Settings/simonp/My Documents/R backup 
library")

y<-c(0,0.2,0.4,0.7,0,0,0,0.8,0,0,0,0,0)

Non-integer counts are not allowed. (If these stem from division by some offset, please do not divide and use the offset instead.)

hth,
Z

x<-c(3,4,5,2,3,6,3,7,4,8,5,8,3)
m1<-zeroinfl(y~x|x)

Zero-Inflated Count Model
Using logit to model zero vs non-zero
Using Poisson for counts
Error in terms.formula(formula, data = data) :
       argument is not a valid model

Can anyone shed any light please?

Simon.
