Abstract:

A data set is referred to as zero-inflated when there are excess zeros in the data set that it does not readily fit any standard distribution. Recently there has been increasing interest in analyzing the zero-inflated spatial count data, while less attention has been paid to the zero-inflated spatial continuous data. The zero-inflated spatial continuous data is often observed in environmental and ecological study due to limit of detection. We develop a Bayesian hierarchical model to analyze multivariate zero-inflated spatial continuous data. The approach is illustrated via an application to the herbaceous data collected in the Missouri Ozark Forest Ecosystem Project (MOFEP).
