count.fit {catregs}R Documentation

Fits four different count models and compares them.

Description

Given a Poisson model object, count.fit fits Poisson, negative binomial, zero-inflated Poisson, and zero-inflated negative binomial models to the data. It reports results of Vuong tests between the zero-inflated and non-zer-inflated models, summarizes the information criteria of the four models, summarizes the model output of the four models, creates a ggplot object of coefficient plots for each model, and creates a ggplot object of model residuals.

Usage

count.fit(m1,y.range,rounded=3,use.color="yes")

Arguments

m1

A Poisson regression model, as estimated via the glm function.

y.range

The observed response range for the count outcome. For example, if the observed range is 0 to 18, this would be 0:18

rounded

The number of decimal places to round the output. The default is 3.

use.color

Whether to use color in the ggplot objects. Default is "yes"

Value

ic

A data.frame summarizing the information criteria for the four models. Bayesian and Akaike's informaiton criteria are included.

models

A summary of the model estimates, including coefficients and standard errors.

pic

A ggplot object illustrating model residuals for each type of model.

models.pic

A ggplot object of coefficient plots from each type of model.
