Re: st: Regression Equation in ZINB regression

[Partho Sarkar <partho.ss+lists@gmail.com>]

Oops, sorry again!  My apologies- I am doing this in between other
work.  I meant to write:

E[yi|xi]=count for x=xi =lambda[i]=a0+a1xi + etc, i.e., the
probability lambda is different for different levels of xi.

and

L(y1,y2,..,yn)=F(lambda[1],lambda[2],...,lambda[n])=G(x1,x2,...,xn)
