This study introduces a new score test for zero-inflation in correlated count data. The test effectively handles excess zeros and within-cluster dependence, showing good performance in simulations.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Statistical modeling
  • Health data analysis

Background:

  • Count data often exhibit excess zeros and within-cluster dependence.
  • Standard Poisson models may not adequately address these issues.
  • Zero-inflated Poisson mixed regression models offer a potential solution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a score test for zero-inflation in correlated count data.
  • To evaluate the performance of the proposed test statistic.
  • To illustrate the application of the test using real-world health data.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a score test for zero-inflation.
  • Evaluation of sampling distribution and power via simulation studies.
  • Application to a dataset on recurrent urinary tract infections.

Main Results:

  • The developed score test statistic performs satisfactorily across various conditions.
  • The test effectively assesses zero-inflation in correlated count data.
  • Simulations confirm the test's reliability and power.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed score test is a valuable tool for analyzing correlated count data with excess zeros.
  • This method enhances the analysis of health-related count data, such as recurrent infections.
  • The findings support the use of this test in biostatistical applications.
