Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial Regression
|
The zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) model in PROC COUNTREG is based on the negative binomial model with quadratic variance function (p=2). The ZINB model is obtained by specifying a negative binomial distribution for the data generation process referred to earlier as Process 2:
Thus the ZINB model is defined to be
In this case, the conditional expectation and conditional variance of
are
As with the ZIP model, the ZINB model exhibits overdispersion because the conditional variance exceeds the conditional mean.
ZINB Model with Logistic Link Function
In this model, the probability
is given by the logistic function—namely,
The log-likelihood function is
See Poisson Regression for the definition of
.
The gradient for this model is given by
ZINB Model with Standard Normal Link Function
For this model, the probability
is specified with the standard normal distribution function (probit function):
. The log-likelihood function is
