Interpreting Zero altered models in MCMCglmm
John-- In addition to Jarrod's specific suggestions, you might give a look at an article we wrote describing GLMM for count data (including zero-inflated / hurdle models), which also has accompanying R code, focused in large part on MCMCglmm: Atkins, D. C., Baldwin, S., Zheng, C., Gallop, R. J., & Neighbors, C. (2013). A tutorial on count regression and zero-altered count models for longitudinal substance use data. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, 27, 166-177. doi: 10.1037/a0029508 PMCID: PMC3513584. MS, data, code can be found from link at: http://depts.washington.edu/cshrb/statistical-resources-tutorial-link/ Hope that helps and best wishes with your analyses. cheers, Dave
