On Zero-Inflated Hierarchical Poisson Models with Application to Maternal Mortality Data

Count outcomes are commonly encountered in health sector data. The occurrence of count outcomes that exhibit many zeros has necessitated the extension of the ubiquitous Poisson regression model to accommodate the zero inflation and overdispersion as a result of the extra dispersion. We explored diff...
