Dear list members,

Is there any function  to do zero-truncated poisson or zero-truncated 
negative binomail in R?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best,

Manuel Sp?nola

Have a look at hurdle() from the pscl package.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.

Hi Manuel,

It seems that the package VGAM is taking zerotruncated models into 
account. You can find more info on 
http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~yee/VGAM/index.html. You can use as a 
family function "posnegbinomial" (for zero truncated data with negative 
binomial distribution) or "pospoisson" (for zero truncated data with 
poisson distribution).

kind regards,

Maarten
