## Abstract In many biometrical applications, the count data encountered often contain extra zeros relative to the Poisson distribution. Zeroβinflated Poisson regression models are useful for analyzing such data, but parameter estimates may be seriously biased if the nonzero observations are overβd
## Abstract This paper describes a framework for flexibly modeling zeroβinflated data. Semiparametric regression based on penalized regression splines for zeroβinflated Poisson models is introduced. Moreover, an EMβtype algorithm is developed to perform maximum likelihood estimation. As an illustra
