zero one inflated beta mixed model

Hello,

I am writing to you following one of the posts on GitHub (https://github.com/glmmTMB/glmmTMB/issues/355). I am trying to fit proportion data with lots of 0s and a few 1s into a hurdle model using glmmTMB. Is this possible? Would you have any example code please?

Thank you!

Morgane

zero inflation for beta distribution model ? Issue #355 ? glmmTMB/glmmTMB ? GitHub<https://github.com/glmmTMB/glmmTMB/issues/355>
Hi Ben, Thanks for your reply. To fit hurdle model using glmmTMB, do you have any example code? will it still have the same issue? Actually i thought using the ziformula option is the way to fit hurdle model, but since it shows such errors of inappropriate values, i guess i may misse some options for hurdle model.

At present glmmTMB doesn't do zero-one-inflated betas, only
zero-inflated betas. As far as I know your options are (1) use brms,
(2) squish your 1 values to something slightly less than 1, or (3) do
the hurdle model manually (i.e. fit two separate models, one for the
probability that the response== 1, and another (conditional) model for
the zero-inflated beta distribution applied only to the responses <1).

  Others on the list may have other suggestions ... (e.g. does INLA
does zero-one-inflated betas?)
