Many data sets cannot be accurately described by standard probability distributions due to the excess number of zero values present. For example, zero-inflation is prevalent in microbiome data and single-cell RNA sequencing data, which…
In microbiome studies, it is of interest to use a sample from a population of microbes, such as the gut microbiota community, to estimate the population proportion of these taxa. However, due to biases introduced in sampling and…
This paper considers the issue of modeling fractional data observed in the interval [0,1), (0,1] or [0,1]. Mixed continuous-discrete distributions are proposed. The beta distribution is used to describe the continuous component of the model…
