The second edition has been updated to incorporate many new features added since Stata 12, when the first edition was written. Specifically, the text now demonstrates how labels on the values of categorical variables make interpretation much easier when looking at regression results and results from...
sample-selection features Treatment assignment features Panel data and grouped data model features Model interpretation The next introduction is a Rosetta stone for anyone who has used other Stata commands to account for endogenous covariates, sample selection, nonrandom treatment assignment, or panel ...
eform() specifies that the coefficient table be displayed in exponentiated form as defined in [R] maximize and that string be used to label the exponentiated coefficients in the table. depname(varname) is used only in programs and ado-files that use regress to fit models...
In Stata, we created two variables: (1) time_tv, which is the average daily time spent watching TV in minutes (i.e., the independent variable); and (2) cholesterol, which is the cholesterol concentration in mmol/L (i.e., the dependent variable)....
An entire chapter is now devoted to interpretation of regression models using predictions. This concept is explored in greater depth in Part II. The authors also discuss how many improvements made to Stata in recent years—factor variables, marginal effects with margins, plotting predictions using ...
The y-vector (LHS) for this example is also shown in Table 3.6A. Notice that the values of y are computed directly from the probability that the home team will win the game from Table 3.5A. Finally, notice that the very last value in the y-column is 25, the specified value of the...
presentation of results from regression models. In particular, through use of themarginsplotcommand, he shows how you can graphically visualize every model presented in the book and thus gain insight into results much easier when you can view them in a graph rather than in a mundane table of ...
