Zero Inflated Possion/Negative Binomial Models

Postby eviewsuser10 » Sat Jan 09, 2021 10:26 pm

Hello,

I tried to build zero inflated possion/negative binomial models but could not find options in Eviews. Would you please direct me to the information on how to estimate them? Any help would be appreciated.

Search Help for Poisson. Negative binomial models are built in and there is an example file for zero-inflated Poisson.

startz, thank you for your response. Following your suggestion, I entered poisson into the Eviews Help system (http://www.eviews.com/help/helpintro.html). However, I could not retrieve relevant information. If it is not much trouble to you, would you please link me to the information on zero-inflated poisson? Thank you.

startz, thank you for the assistance. I visited the suggested link. It includes poisson, negative binomial, and QLM models. But, I could not find an example file for zero-inflated Poisson. Would you please direct me to the information? Thank you.

There is no instructions on zero-inflated poisson models in the link mentioned above. This link provides brief definition for various models without provide detailed instructions. Please provide a link for zero-inflated poisson models. Thanks.

startz, thank you for your response. Based on my knowledge, both zero-inflated and -altered negative binomial models are similar but differ in terms of whether the negative binomial component is truncated at zero or not. In addition, the website you suggested did not provide detailed directions for zero-altered models. Where can I find EViews tutorials for zero-inflated or -altered models? Any help would be appreciated.

I believe that what the EViews documentation is saying is that there is an example file included with EViews that shows how to do a zero-inflated Poisson.

Maybe one of the EViews staff can clarify if I have that wrong.

As mentioned in the link that Startz provided to you, they are found in the Example Files section of your EViews installation folder.

Gareth, I could find the example file for zero-altered models but could not for zero-inflated models. Could you please direct me to the example file? Thank you.
