Shared zero-inflated Gamma-Poisson count model

Let
B
=
0
with
probability
π
, and otherwise let
B
have
a
Gamma distribution
with
mean
one and
variance
τ
. Given
B
, counts
Y
j
are
conditionally independent
Poisson random variables
with
means
B
μ
j
. For
q
=
1
−
π
, the
law of total variance
and
law of total covariance
give
E
Y
j
=
q
μ
j
,
Cov
(
Y
)
=
diag
(
q
μ
)
+
q
(
τ
+
π
)
μ
μ
T
.

Each component
has a
zero-inflated negative binomial distribution
, but the components are not independent after marginalizing
B
. The zero component is shared by the whole profile. At
τ
=
0
, interpret the positive
Gamma
component
as
a
point mass
at one.
