Abstract: Although models for count data with over-dispersion have been widely considered in the literature, models for under-dispersion -- the opposite phenomenon -- have received less attention as it is only relatively common in particular research fields such as biodosimetry and ecology. The Good distribution is a flexible alternative for modelling count data showing either over-dispersion or under-dispersion, although no R packages are still available to the best of our knowledge. We aim to present in the following the R package good that computes the standard probabilistic functions (i.e., probability density function, cumulative distribution function, and quantile function) and generates random samples from a population following a Good distribution. The package also considers a function for Good regression, including covariates in a similar way to that of the standard glm function. We finally show the use of such a package with some real-world data examples addressing both over-dispersion and especially under-dispersion.
