bizicount: Bivariate Zero-Inflated Count Models Using Copulas

Maximum likelihood estimation of copula-based zero-inflated (and non-inflated) Poisson and negative binomial count models, based on the article <doi:10.18637/jss.v109.i01>. Supports Frank and Gaussian copulas. Allows for mixed margins (e.g., one margin Poisson, the other zero-inflated negative binomial), and several marginal link functions. Built-in methods for publication-quality tables using 'texreg', post-estimation diagnostics using 'DHARMa', and testing for marginal zero-modification via <doi:10.1177/0962280217749991>. For information on copula regression for count data, see Genest and Nešlehová (2007) <doi:10.1017/S0515036100014963> as well as Nikoloulopoulos (2013) <doi:10.1007/978-3-642-35407-6_11>.
