Z is correct, of course. I was just being a little too simplistic in my explanation trying to emphasize the reversal of signs of the coefficients in the logistic regression part of the zero-inflated model. Brian Brian S. Cade, PhD U. S. Geological Survey Fort Collins Science Center 2150 Centre

Dear All, I am running a negative binomial model in R using the package pscl in oder to estimate bed sediment movements versus river discharge. Currently we have deployed 4 different plates to test if a combination of more than one plate would better describe the sediment movements when the

Lauria: For historical reasons the logistic regression (binomial with logit link) model portion of a zero-inflated count model is usually structured to predict the probability of the 0 counts rather than the nonzero (=1) counts so the coefficients will be the negative of what you expect based on
