ZAP: Zero adjusted poisson distribution for fitting a GAMLSS model

In gamlss.dist: Distributions to be used for GAMLSS modelling.

Description

The function ZAP defines the zero adjusted Poisson distribution, a two parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss(). The functions dZAP, pZAP, qZAP and rZAP define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the inflated poisson, ZAP(), distribution.

Usage

ZAP(mu.link = "log", sigma.link = "logit")
dZAP(x, mu = 5, sigma = 0.1, log = FALSE)
pZAP(q, mu = 5, sigma = 0.1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qZAP(p, mu = 5, sigma = 0.1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rZAP(n, mu = 5, sigma = 0.1)

Arguments

mu.link	defines the mu.link, with "log" link as the default for the mu parameter
sigma.link	defines the sigma.link, with "logit" link as the default for the sigma parameter which in this case is the probability at zero. Other links are "probit" and "cloglog"'(complementary log-log)
x	vector of (non-negative integer)
mu	vector of positive means
sigma	vector of probabilities at zero
p	vector of probabilities
q	vector of quantiles
n	number of random values to return
log, log.p	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p)
lower.tail	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x], otherwise, P[X > x]

Details

For the definition of the distribution see Rigby and Stasinopoulos (2010) below.

Value

The function ZAP returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit a zero inflated poisson distribution in the gamlss() function.
