Posterior structural-zero probability

ID: posterior-structural-zero-probability

In a zero-inflated Poisson regression, Bayes theorem separates structural zeros from susceptible zero counts. A positive count rules out the structural-zero class; a zero raises its posterior probability according to the displayed formula, but usually does not determine class membership with certainty. This same probability supplies the E-step of the EM algorithm for zero-inflated Poisson regression.
