Hi all,

Does anyone know how to deal with a zero-inflated count PREDICTOR? I know we
can use ZIP, Hurdle, etc for zero-inflated response variables, but what if
the problem occurs with one of the covariates?

I have already found that the literature is correct in stating that any
transformation will just lead to a distribution with a different inflated
value, so the arcsin is out.

Thanks,
Jeff
