Count data with excess zeros are common place in social science

research. The Poisson regression model is a standard methodological tool


for count data, and has been extended in numerous ways to accommodate
data that depart from the usual assumptions of Poisson sampling with
respect to the well-known mean variance equivalence. Zero-inflated count
data, i.e., count data containing an overabundance of zeros, are often a
source of this violation in assumption (Cameron and Trivedi [2, 3]; Dean
and Lawless [7]; Greene [10]; Hausman et al. [12]; Heilbron [13]; King
[15]; Lambert [16]; Mullahy [23]; and Long [18]). The zero-inflated
Poisson (ZIP) model is an oftenutilized strategy to account for inflated
zeros in count data, and has traditionally been estimated by using
maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) (Long [18])
