⚠️There's a newer version (1.5.9) of this package.Take me there.

pscl (version 1.5.5)

Political Science Computational Laboratory

Description

Bayesian analysis of item-response theory (IRT) models, roll call analysis; computing highest density regions; maximum likelihood estimation of zero-inflated and hurdle models for count data; goodness-of-fit measures for GLMs; data sets used in writing and teaching at the Political Science Computational Laboratory; seats-votes curves.
