Hurdle-Poisson regression {Rfast2}R Documentation

Hurdle-Poisson regression

Description

Hurdle-Poisson regression.

Usage

hp.reg(y, x, full = FALSE, tol = 1e-07, maxiters = 100) 

Arguments

y

The dependent variable, a numerical vector with numbers.

x

A numerical matrix with the indendent variables. We add, internally, the first column of ones.

full

If this is FALSE, the coefficients and the log-likelihood will be returned only. If this is TRUE, more information is returned.

tol

The tolerance value to terminate the Newton-Raphson algorithm.

maxiters

The max number of iterations that can take place in each regression.

Details

Two regression models are fitted, a binary logistic regression and a zero truncated Poisson regression model.

Value

Depending on whether "full" is TRUE or not different outputs are returned. In general, the regression coefficients, the iterations required by Newton-Raphson and the deviances are returned. If full is TRUE, a matrix with their standard errors and the Wald test statistics is returned as well.
