[feature request] Support for zero inflated and hurdle models

suntzuisafterU opened this issue · comments

See https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/pscl/versions/1.5.2/topics/zeroinfl for an example implementation in R.

These models are extremely useful in bioinformatics research. Large volumes of DNA sequencing data is being generated from projects such as:

  • American Gut Project (AGP) (McDonald et al., 2018)
  • Human Microbiome Project (HMP) (Huttenhower et al., 2012)
  • Earth Microbiome Project (EMP) (Bahram et al., 2018)
  • TARA Ocean project (Sunagawa et al., 2015)
    That can benefit from these models.
