Description
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
^countfit^ compares the fit of the Poissin, negative binomial, zero-inflated
|
||
|
|
Poisson and zero-inflated negative binomial models, generateing a table of
|
||
|
|
estimates, a table of differences between observed and average estimated
|
||
|
|
probabilities for each count, a graph of these differences, and various tests
|
||
|
|
and measures used to compare the fit of count models.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Specifying the model
|
||
|
|
--------------------
|
||
|
|
Immediately afer the command name ^countfit^ you specify the dependent and
|
||
|
|
independent variables as you would with ^poisson^ or the other models. For
|
||
|
|
zero-inflated models, the ^inflate^ option is used in the same was as in the
|
||
|
|
^zip^ and ^zinb^ commands. ^noconstant^ can be used to exclude the constant
|
||
|
|
term.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options to select the models to fit
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
By default, ^poisson^, ^nbreg^, ^zip^ and ^zinb^ are estimated. If you
|
||
|
|
only want some of these models, specify the modesl you want with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
^prm^ - include ^poisson^
|
||
|
|
^nbreg^ - include ^nbreg^
|
||
|
|
^zip^ - include ^poisson^
|
||
|
|
^zinb^ - include ^poisson^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options to label results
|
||
|
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
^generate()^ is up to five letters to name the variables that are created
|
||
|
|
and to label the models in the output. This name is placed in front
|
||
|
|
of the type of model (e.g., namePRM). This is optional but will help
|
||
|
|
keep track of results from multiple specifications of models.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
^replace^ will replace variables created with the ^generate^ option if they
|
||
|
|
already exist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
^note()^ is a label added to the graph that is saved.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
^graphexport()^ contains options to be sent to the ^graph export^ command to
|
||
|
|
export the graph that is create. For example, ^graph(mdl.emf, replace)^
|
||
|
|
would save the file mdl.emf and replace it if it exists. If this option
|
||
|
|
is not included, the graph is not saved.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options controlling what is printed
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
^noisily^ shows the output from the estimation commands called by ^countfit^.
|
||
|
|
^nograph^ suppress graph of differences from observed counts.
|
||
|
|
^nodifferences^ suppress table of differences from observed counts.
|
||
|
|
^noprtable^ suppresses table of predictions for each model.
|
||
|
|
^noestimates^ suppress table of estimated coefficients.
|
||
|
|
^nofit^ suppress table of fit statistics and test of fit
|
||
|
|
^nodash^ suppress dashed lines between measures of fit
|
||
|
|
^maxcount()^ number of counts to evaluate.
|
||
|
|
^noisily^ includes output from Stata estimation commands; without this option
|
||
|
|
the results are only shown in the ^estimates table^ output.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Notes
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
^countfit^ is based on the results from the Stata models described above,
|
||
|
|
the predictions computed by ^prcounts^, and the fit measures computed by
|
||
|
|
^fitstat^.
|
||
|
|
|
||
