The First-order Integer-valued Autoregressive (INAR(1)) model with zero-inflated (ZI-INAR(1)) and hurdle (H-INAR(1)) innovations is widely used in studying integer-valued time-series data, such as crime count and heatwave frequency. This work implemented the INAR(1) models in Stan. The package now also supports zero-inflated INAR(1) models with Conway-Maxwell-Poisson (CMP) innovations.

Installation

You can install ZIHINAR1 from GitHub with:

remotes::install_github("fushengyy/ZIHINAR1")

Or you can install the released version of ZIHINAR1 from CRAN with:

install.packages("ZIHINAR1")

Basic Features get_stanfit()

The package contains main function named get_stanfit().

stan_fit <- get_stanfit(mod_type, distri, y, n_pred = 4,
                        thin = 2, chains = 1, iter = 2000, warmup = iter/2,
                        seed = NA, M = NULL,
                        cmp_version = c("fast", "reference"),
                        cmp_tail_tol = 1e-6, tail_action = c("warn", "error"), ...)

Example

The following are examples showing how to fit the INAR(1) model when data is generated from a zero-inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) distribution.

library(ZIHINAR1)
y_data <- data_simu(n = 100, alpha = 0.5, rho = 0.3, lambda = 5, disp = 2, 
                    mod_type = "zi", distri = "nb")
stan_fit <- get_stanfit(mod_type = "zi", distri = "nb", y = y_data, n_pred = 5, 
                        iter = 2000, chains = 1, warmup = 500, 
                        thin = 2, seed = 42)

Example with CMP innovations

For CMP, disp in data_simu() is the dispersion parameter nu reported by get_est(). The parameter lambda is the CMP rate.

set.seed(42)
y_cmp <- data_simu(n = 100, alpha = 0.5, rho = 0.3, lambda = 2.5, disp = 1.2,
                   mod_type = "zi", distri = "cmp")
fit_cmp <- get_stanfit(mod_type = "zi", distri = "cmp", y = y_cmp, n_pred = 5,
                       iter = 2000, chains = 4, warmup = 1000, seed = 42)
get_est(distri = "cmp", stan_fit = fit_cmp)
get_mod_sel(y = y_cmp, mod_type = "zi", distri = "cmp", stan_fit = fit_cmp)
get_pred(stan_fit = fit_cmp)
