Various methods exist in literature to combat zero-inflation and over-dispersion in count data. Among them Zero-inflated count models provide a parsimonious yet powerful way to model excess zeros in addition to allowing for over-dispersion. Such models assume that the counts are a mixture of two separate data generation process: one generates only zeros, and the other is a Poisson type data-generating process. Among mostly discussed models are zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP), zero inflated negative binomial (ZINB) and zero-inflated generalized Poisson (ZIGP). However, the performance and application condition of these models are not thoroughly studied. In this work, these common zero-inflation models are reviewed and compared under specified over-dispersion conditions via simulated data and real-life data in terms of statistical power and type I error rate. Performance of each model will be listed side by side to give a clear view of each model’s pros and cons in specific over-dispersion and zero-inflation condition. Further, the ZIGP model is chosen to extend to a more general situation where a random effect is incorporated to account for within-subject correlation and between subject heterogeneity. Likelihood based estimation of treatment effect will be developed for analysis of randomized experiments with random effect. Effect of model misspecification on model’s performance will be investigated in areas such as type I error rate, standard error and empirical statistical power. Case studies will be presented to illustrate the application these models. 2014-09-12 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1407404513 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1407404513 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
