Spatial count data with an abundance of zeros arise commonly in disease mapping studies. Typically, these data are analyzed using zero-inflated models, which comprise a mixture of a point mass at zero and an ordinary count distribution, such as the Poisson or negative binomial. However, due to their mixture representation, conventional zero-inflated models are challenging to explain in practice because the parameter estimates have conditional latent-class interpretations.
