Using Zero- Inflated Generalized Poisson Regression in Modelling of Count Data
Abstract
In this study zero-inflated generalized Poisson
regression was applied to the modelling of mite
numbers data based on count. The subjects of the zero-inflated generalized
Poisson regression are three parameters as mean, overdispersion and
zero-inflated dispersion. The
overdispersion and zero-inflated dispersion
levels range was obtained to be
quite high. However, it was found that zero-inflated data and
overdispersion had an important effect on mite counts (p < 0.01).
It was obtained that 36% (130 observations) of the total numbers of mite had
zero values. The effects of all independent variables were found to be
statistically significant on mite counts (p < 0.05). The results showed that the
differences among regions and varieties regarding the mite counts were statistically significant
(p < 0.01).
