Are your data really suited to such an analysis?

Please write back to SAS-L first and explain what your data are, and
where they come from, and how they were collected, and what you
want to do with them, and what the project goals are. Then people
here can give more helpful suggestions.

HTH,

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but I was actually wondering about
this myself the other day. Zero-inflated Poisson exists, does zero-
inflated NegBin? If so, how so in SAS? i have used PROC GENMOD for
negbin GLM with offset before.

In wildlife studies we often examine habitat selection - i.e.,
resource selection functions that are often modeled with logistic
regression as 'used' vs either 'unused' or 'available'. Those last 2
words carry a lot of baggage that we need not get into. Anyhow,
sometimes the study area is broken into small plots using GIS or some
other means. With new satellite and GPS technologies for tracking
animals - you could end up with some used plots having 10, 20, 50, etc
animal locations. A situation where the variance becomes much larger
than the mean b/c you typically have many many more plots with zero
uses - hence, a zero-inflated negative binomial? Also, you can use
mixed models to deal with dependency of observations in order to
separate individualistic effects vs population level effects. thanks.

There is a lot of literature of ZINB models.

The model is formulated in:

You know, it's so rare that someone starts out with a scientific model
that leads to a logical investigation of a ZINB model. Thanks. I needed
that. :-)

The place to look is in the SAS-L archives. Look up Dale McLerran's
tomes on PROC NLMIXED for ZIP and ZINB models. Oh, and when
you do, don't look for his name in the 'author' box, because he uses
the 'from' name stringplayer2 .

David, thanks for the tip, I'll check it out. The situation I gave
was pretty particular b/c it was on my mind at the time. However, a
ZINB model may actually be fairly common for a lot of wildife
surveys. The reason is that many wildlife species are gregarious but
not terribly common. Say you want to model factors affecting duck use
of ponds. You visit 30 ponds and find no ducks, but when you do find
a pond with ducks there might be 50, 500, or 1000. You might
standardize the model by using pond area as an offset to get density
but that is another matter. Anyhow, thanks for the help.
