pymc.ZeroInflatedPoisson

class pymc.ZeroInflatedPoisson(name, psi, mu, **kwargs)

Zero-inflated Poisson log-likelihood.

Often used to model the number of events occurring in a fixed period of time when the times at which events occur are independent. The pmf of this distribution is

\[\begin{split}f(x \mid \psi, \mu) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l} (1-\psi) + \psi e^{-\mu}, \text{if } x = 0 \\ \psi \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^x}{x!}, \text{if } x=1,2,3,\ldots \end{array} \right.\end{split}\]

Parameters
