glmmTMB Balances Speed and Flexibility Among Packages for Zero-inflated Generalized Linear Mixed Modeling
Open accessAbstract
Count data can be analyzed using generalized linear mixed models when observations are correlated in ways that require random effects.However, count data are often zero-inflated, containing more zeros than would be expected from the typical error distributions.We present a new package, glmmTMB, and compare it to other R packages that fit zero-inflated mixed models.The glmmTMB package fits many types of GLMMs and extensions, including models with continuously distributed responses, but here we focus on count responses.glmmTMB is faster than glmmADMB, MCMCglmm, and brms, and more flexible than INLA and mgcv for zero-inflated modeling.One unique feature of glmmTMB (among packages that fit zero-inflated mixed models) is its ability to estimate the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution parameterized by the mean.Overall, its most appealing features for new users may be the combination of speed, flexibility, and its interface's similarity to lme4.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
