A score test for zero‐inflation in correlated count data [PDF]
Statistics in Medicine, 2005 AbstractTo account for the preponderance of zero counts and simultaneous correlation of observations, a class of zero‐inflated Poisson mixed regression models is applicable for accommodating the within‐cluster dependence. In this paper, a score test for zero‐inflation is developed for assessing correlated count data with excess zeros.
