• The misuse of the Vuong test for non-nested models to test for zero-inflation (2015, unknown): “For example, Desmarais and Harden (2013) state: “the count regression f is not nested in the zero-inflated model, because the model does not reduce to f (the count model) when γ = 0, in which case the probability of a 0 is inflated by 0.50”, apparently alluding to the fact that the value of the…”
