Abstract:

Repeated measures data analysis involving zero-inflation often poses implementation and interpretability challenges to both statisticians and biomedical researchers. In addition to accounting for intra-subject correlation, the issue of excessive zero-counts must be addressed. Modeling count data with extra zeros with standard zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) models may be inappropriate in such settings. A ZIP mixed regression model with random effects (ZIP-MR) allows specification of correlation and zero-count structures. We illustrate our approach using an epidemiologic study to evaluate self-reported frequency of problems with condom use in a group of women at high risk for contracting sexually transmitted disease who participated in follow up study of the impact of condom promotion intervention. A number of women reported no problems with use, resulting in zero-counts. ZIP-MR model performance was compared to standard ZIP using fit statistics (Akaike and Bayesian information criteria) and the likelihood ratio test (LRT); ZIP-MR model provided substantially better fit than the ZIP model based on model fit statistics.
