In AZIAD: Analyzing Zero-Inflated and Zero-Altered Data

Inverse Fisher Information matrix and confidence intervals of the parameters for general, continuous, and discrete zero-inflated or hurdle distributions.

Description

Computes the inverse of the fisher information matrix for Poisson, geometric, negative binomial, beta binomia, beta negative binomial, normal, lognormal, half normal, and exponential distributions and their zero-inflated and hurdle versions along with the confidence intervals of all parameters in the model.

Usage

FI.ZI(x,dist="poisson",r=NULL,p=NULL,alpha1=NULL,alpha2=NULL,
n=NULL,lambda=NULL,mean=NULL,sigma=NULL,lowerbound=0.01,upperbound=10000)

Arguments

x	A vector of count data. Should be non-negative integers for discrete cases. Random generation for continuous cases.
dist	The distribution used to calculate the inverse of fisher information and confidence interval. It can be one of poisson,geometric,nb,bb,bnb,normal,halfnormal,lognormal,exponential,zip,zigeom,zinb,zibb,zibnb,zinormal,zilognorm,zohalfnorm,ziexp,ph,geomh,nbh,bbh,bnbh which corresponds to general Poisson, geometric, negative binomial, beta binomial, beta negative binomial, normal, log normal, half normal, exponential, Zero-Inflated Poisson, Zero-Inflated geometric, Zero-Inflated negative binomial, Zero-Inflated beta binomial, Zero-Inflated beta negative binomial, Zero-Inflated/hurdle normal, Zero-Inflated/hurdle log normal, Zero-Inflated/hurdle half normal, Zero-Inflated/hurdle exponential, Zero-Hurdle Poisson, Zero-Hurdle geometric, Zero-Hurdle negative binomial, Zero-Hurdle beta binomial, and Zero-Hurdle beta negative binomial distributions, respectively.
r	An initial value of the number of success before which m failures are observed, where m is the element of x. Must be a positive number, but not required to be an integer.
p	An initial value of the probability of success, should be a positive value within (0,1).
alpha1	An initial value for the first shape parameter of beta distribution. Should be a positive number.
alpha2	An initial value for the second shape parameter of beta distribution. Should be a positive number.
n	An initial value of the number of trials. Must be a positive number, but not required to be an integer.
lambda	An initial value of the rate. Must be a positive real number.
mean	An initial value of the mean or expectation.
sigma	An initial value of the standard deviation. Must be a positive real number.
lowerbound	A lower searching bound used in the optimization of likelihood function. Should be a small positive number. The default is 1e-2.
upperbound	An upper searching bound used in the optimization of likelihood function. Should be a large positive number. The default is 1e4.

Details

FI.ZI calculate the inverse of the fisher information matrix and the corresponding confidence interval of the parameter of general, Zero-Inflated, and Zero-Hurdle Poisson, geometric, negative binomial, beta binomial, beta negative binomial, normal, log normal, half normal, and exponential distributions. Note that zero-inflated and hurdle are the same in continuous distributions.

Value

A list containing the inverse of the fisher information matrix and the corresponding 95% confidence interval for all the parameters in the model.
