For the horseshoe crab data, the following output shows a zero-inflated negative binomial model using quantitative color
Question:
For the horseshoe crab data, the following output shows a zero-inflated negative binomial model using quantitative color for the zero component. Interpret results, and compare with the NB2 model fitted in the previous exercise with quantitative color. Can you conduct a likelihood-ratio test comparing them?
Why or why not?
