[R-sig-ME] New book: The World of Zero-Inflated Models: Using GLLVM. Zuur and Ieno (2025)

[Alain Zuur]

We are pleased to announce our new book: /The World of Zero-Inflated 
Models: Using GLLVM/. Zuur and Ieno (2025)

This book explores modern statistical methods for analyzing complex 
datasets, focusing on multivariate models, mixed-effects models, and 
latent variable models. GLLVMs integrate GLMs and GLMMs with 
multivariate analysis techniques, allowing multiple response variables 
to be modeled within a single framework.

Key topics include count data models with excess zeros and distributions 
such as Poisson, negative binomial, zero-inflated Poisson, zero-inflated 
negative binomial, and Tweedie. The book also provides practical 
guidance on implementing these models in R using the *gllvm* package.

Designed for researchers, statisticians, and analysts working with 
multivariate ecological, environmental, or social science data, this 
book is also a practical resource for R users looking to apply complex 
statistical models effectively. Each chapter includes detailed R code 
and case studies, demonstrating how to fit and interpret complex models, 
diagnose potential issues, and refine model performance. Emphasizing 
practical solutions, the book helps readers apply these methods to 
real-world datasets.
