Re: [R] Error message when using zero-inflated count regression model in package zicounts

Dr. Stevens, I've double-checked my variable lengths. All of my variables (Total.vines, Site, Species, and DBH) came in at 549. I did correct one problem in the data entry that had escaped my previous notice: somehow the undergrad who entered all the data managed to make the Acer

No, zeroinfl() in pscl did not give me any errors when I ran the model. So there may be a bug in zicounts. Only problem now is how to interpret the zeroinfl model. Am I correct in my understanding that zeroinfl runs both the poisson and binomial models without interactions? I'm

Hi Jim, Two thoughts come to me, unencumbered by the thought process or knowledge of zicounts: 1. Is Poisson really NOT appropriate? (do you have to use zicounts?) 2. Are you 110% certain that all variables are the same length? Would NA's interfere? Cheers, Hank On Aug 13, 2007, at 5:10 PM,

I have data on number of vines per tree for ~550 trees. Over half of the trees did not have any vines and the data is fairly skewed (median = 0, mean = 1.158, 3rd qu. = 1.000). I am attempting to investigate whether plot location (four sites), species (I'm using only the four most common
