comment Dealing with 0,1 values in a beta regression
But they don't take this approach. They propose a different model, a mixed discrete continuous process. That is very different from binning the extreme values. As I said before if the beta model is valid then the binning model is valid. If the discrete continuous model is valid then the beta model is invalid. I suspect that they were mostly driven in their analysis by the kinds of mixed models they could fit with their software. The binned beta mixed model is a bit more difficult to fit.

revised Dealing with 0,1 values in a beta regression
change the question to make it clear that I propose a different model rather than modifying the data

comment Dealing with 0,1 values in a beta regression
But that does not answer my question. I am well aware that one can transform the data. My questions is why not transform the model instead?

comment Expected number of runs of length n in coin toss
Well you said a formula and 1/2 1/4 1/8 etc is certainly a formula. It seem to me it indicates a rather simple proof. Suppose you start throwing the coin and record the length of each run. the first throw is either H or T. the second throw can be H or T and the probability is 0.5 that they are it is different from the first throw. thus the probability is 0.5 that the length of the string is 1. Similarly it is 0.25 that the length of the string is 2 and so on.

each one is 1/2 of the one before and 1/2 + 1/4 +1/8 ... =1

comment Non-linear model fitting in many dimensions
I think that to get good advice you will need to describe your model for us.

comment No valid coefficients for NegBin regression
It might require some tweaking. glmmADMB is intended to fit a Negative Binomial mixed model. It would be fairly simple to modify it for just a Negative Binomial regression.

If you post some data, I'll run the model for you and see what happens.
