I’ve been fitting a lot of models on zero-inflated data lately and I’ve been using hurdle models. I find the posterior predictive checks perform better for hurdle models than zero-inflated models for my data in all cases. I’m curious, why isn’t there a family for hurdle gaussian models? Are normally…

Why isn't there a hurdle gaussian family?

No specific reason. you can build it yourself if you like using custom_family.
