SPSS Community News - New Extension Command STATS ZEROINFL

Jon K Peck
A new extension command for SPSS Statistics, STATS ZEROINFL, has been posted to the SPSS Community website.

STATS ZEROINFL estimates Poisson, negative binomial, or geometric count models with zero inflation.  The native Statistics command GENLIN can estimate these count models but does not provide zero inflation except that the Tweedie choice estimates a similar model for Poisson counts.

STATS ZEROINFL requires the R Essentials and at least version 18 of Statistics. It can be downloaded from within Statistics using the Utilities menu in version 22. For older versions you can download it from the SPSS Community website (
www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral) in the Extension Commands collection.

This is the first extension command to be posted that delivers its syntax help (STATS ZEROINFL /HELP) as html in a browser window instead of just printing plain text to the Viewer window.  All of the extension helps from IBM have been converted to this new display mechanism and will eventually be updated on the web site.
