Zero adjusted regression models are used to fit variables that are discrete at zero and continuous at some interval of the positive real numbers. Diagnostic analysis in these models is usually performed using the randomized quantile residual, which is useful for checking the overall adequacy of a zero adjusted regression model. However, it may fail to identify some outliers. In this work, we introduce a residual for outlier identification in zero adjusted regression models. Monte Carlo simulation studies and an application suggest that the residual introduced here has good properties and detects outliers that are not identified by the randomized quantile residual.
