For example, the number of insurance claims within a population for a certain type of risk would be zero-inflated by those people who have not taken out insurance against the risk and thus are unable to claim. The zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) model mixes two zero generating processes. The first process generates zeros.
A hurdle model is a class of statistical models where a random variable is modelled using two parts, the first which is the probability of attaining value 0, and the second part models the probability of the non-zero values. The use of hurdle models are often motivated by an excess of zeroes in the data, that is not sufficiently accounted for ...
The gamma distribution is the maximum entropy probability distribution (both with respect to a uniform base measure and a / base measure) for a random variable X for which E[X] = αθ = α/λ is fixed and greater than zero, and E[ln X] = ψ(α) + ln θ = ψ(α) − ln λ is fixed (ψ is the digamma function).

An example would be the distribution of cigarettes smoked in an hour by members of a group where some individuals are non-smokers. Other generalized linear models such as the negative binomial model or zero-inflated model may function better in these cases. On the contrary, underdispersion may pose an issue for parameter estimation. [8]
The variance gamma process has been successfully applied in the modeling of credit risk in structural models. The pure jump nature of the process and the possibility to control skewness and kurtosis of the distribution allow the model to price correctly the risk of default of securities having a short maturity, something that is generally not possible with structural models in which the ...
In statistics, a tobit model is any of a class of regression models in which the observed range of the dependent variable is censored in some way. [1] The term was coined by Arthur Goldberger in reference to James Tobin, [2] [a] who developed the model in 1958 to mitigate the problem of zero-inflated data for observations of household expenditure on durable goods.

In probability and statistics, the Kumaraswamy's double bounded distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions defined on the interval (0,1). It is similar to the beta distribution, but much simpler to use especially in simulation studies since its probability density function, cumulative distribution function and quantile functions can be expressed in closed form.
