Dear Statalisters,
 
The inflate(_cons) option does not seem to be working with countfit.
Countfit is a user-written command and can be found via -findit countfit- and spost9_ado

If I do
 
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r10/fish
 
zinb count persons livebait,inf(_cons) nolog
 
Zero-inflated negative binomial regression        Number of obs   =        250
                                                  Nonzero obs     =        108
                                                  Zero obs        =        142
Inflation model = logit                           LR chi2(2)      =      46.03
Log likelihood  =  -441.424                       Prob > chi2     =     0.0000

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
If I do
countfit count persons livebait,inf(_cons)

I obtain

variable _cons not found
in option inflate()
r(111);

The help file mentions that
the inflate option is used in the same way as in the zip and zinb commands.
 
Best wishes, Garry
