Abstract
⺠We compared the negative binomial-Lindley model (NB-L) with the negative binomial (NB) and zero-inflated models. ⺠We used a simulated dataset and two observed datasets to evaluate the performance of the models. ⺠For the simulated dataset, the NB-L model was able to reproduce the “true” parameter values. ⺠The NB-L model offers the advantage of being able to handle datasets with a large number of zeros and/or high dispersion. ⺠The NB-L model provides a superior performance over the NB and zero-inflated models.
