What is Two-Part Models for Zero-Modified Count and Semicontinuous Data about?

Health services data often contain a high proportion of zeros. In studies examining patient hospitalization rates, for instance, many patients will have no hospitalizations, resulting in a count of zero. When the number of zeros is greater or less than expected under a standard count model, the data are said to be zero modified relative to the standard model. More precisely, the data are zero inflated if there is an overabundance of zeros, and zero deflated if there are fewer zeros than expected. A similar phenomenon arises with semicontinuous data,
