Abstract

This article presents two‐component hierarchical Bayesian models which incorporate both overdispersion and excess zeros. The components may be resultants of some intervention (treatment) that changes the rare event generating process. The models are also expanded to take into account any heterogeneity that may exist in the data. Details of the model fitting, checking and selecting alternative models from a Bayesian perspective are also presented. The proposed methods are applied to count data on the assessment of an efficacy of pesticides in controlling the reproduction of whitefly. (Β© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

## Abstract In many biometrical applications, the count data encountered often contain extra zeros relative to the Poisson distribution. Zero‐inflated Poisson regression models are useful for analyzing such data, but parameter estimates may be seriously biased if the nonzero observations are over‐d
