[R-sig-ME] Interpreting Zero altered models in MCMCglmm

[David Atkins]

John--

In addition to Jarrod's specific suggestions, you might give a look at 
an article we wrote describing GLMM for count data (including 
zero-inflated / hurdle models), which also has accompanying R code, 
focused in large part on MCMCglmm:

Atkins, D. C., Baldwin, S., Zheng, C., Gallop, R. J., & Neighbors, C. 
(2013). A tutorial on count regression and zero-altered count models for 
longitudinal substance use data.  Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, 27, 
166-177. doi: 10.1037/a0029508 PMCID: PMC3513584.

MS, data, code can be found from link at:

Hope that helps and best wishes with your analyses.

cheers, Dave
