I'm new to meta-analysis and to Stata. I understand how to use the user interface to insert multiple covariates into a meta-regression. However, I am not sure how to interpret the output and to make sure that the software has controlled for multiplicity and covariate correlation - so that I...

IN STATA I'm trying to make a new variable with age groups from a numeric variable, age. Don't understand why this code doesn't work: . recode Age (0/4 = 0 0-4)(5/9 = 1 5-9 )(10/14 = 2 10-14)(15/19 = 3 15-19)(20-24 = 4 20-24)(25-29 = 5 25-29)(30-34 = 6 30-34)(35-39 = 7 35-39)(40-44 = 8...

I have done this before and I just don't know what I am doing wrong. I need to create a dummy variable but it just refuses to recode the last numbers in to the second column. So what i do is i write recode logmag (0/2.772589=1)(2.833213/5.010635=2),gen(logmag_new) Then what it does it that it...

Dear all, I have a question about conditional logit analysis, in particular analysis based on a McFadden-type choice model. I am using a model of firm relocation destination county choice using a 19th century panel dataset, with the main explanatory variables being county-specific variables...

Hello all! I am in the beginning of a statistics project in my master's course which will be focusing on regression analysis later on. We have not yet done any regression analysis but have been asked to turn in a paper on initial findings and analysis, but I am having a lot of trouble in how I...

Hi, I am new on this forum and completely new to stata. PROJECT FOR MONEY Nevertheless, I am supposed to prepare a small project about alcohol consumption (in a couple countries - any) based on a couple variables like sex, type of alcohol, country, tax, GDP, etc. The project should consist of...

Hi everyone at Talk Stats, I've really been struggling on the correct method to use to prove/disprove if my results are statistically significant. For the context in 2006/07, the UK tuition fees have changed from £1k to £3k and then again in 2012 to £9k. Attached is a text file of my collected...

Hi guys! For some research we ran a regression analysis in Stata using the Difference in Difference method. this method uses a controlling group of countries to neutralise other effects than the effect of change in regulations. Afterwards we manipulated the data deviding it through year 2011...

Hi, I'm doing a difference-in-differences analysis of a health policy intervention. Health clinics are paid for the percentage of eligible patients who they give the right treatment to. The clinics are measured/paid separately for each type of treatment indicator. One year, some of the...

Hello there, I have data on European Union membership in the form of a dummy variable were eu_o = Origin is a member, eu_d=Destination is a member. I want to create another dummy variable that takes the value of 1 if both eu_o=eu_d=1. Is there a command to do this?

Ba I intend on estimating a reduced form VAR but I am struggling to choose a lag length. Initially my variables all contained a unit root but I first differenced them in order to induce Stationarity. Based on my estimation sample, the FPE, AIC, HQIC picked 4 lags while the SBIC chose 1 lag. I...

Hi there, I'm an MSc student in Medical Entomology and I'm in the midst of analysing data for my final project write up. My project is assessing the efficacy of different insecticide treatments applied in experimental huts against malaria mosquitoes. Now my dependent variables are: mortality...

Dear all, I am trying to simultaneously estimate three equations using dynamic panel data. In each equation, the dependent variable (say, Y(3)) is a function of the two other dependent variables from that same period (say, X(3) and Z(3)), as well as the lagged values of the same dependent...

Hello, I want to predict returns of real estate investment trusts (REITs) in excess of the risk-free rate (rf), by using various explanatory variables which are market risk premium, the Fama&French factors and the Carhart momentum factor (MOM). For those not familiar with them; the market risk...

I am trying to run a mixed effect model defined as: log(volume) = A + B*time + epsilon and A = A0 + A1*T + epsilonA B = B0 + B1*T + epsilonB The data is tumor volumes in two groups (T = 0 or T = 1) of mice, and each mouse's log(volume) increases linearly in time, but with slopes and...

Hi, My dependent variable is goes to college coded 0=No and 1= Yes. I am not sure how STATA reads/ranks the dependent variable....thus I am not sure if I am interpreting correct. Predictor variables overeating status 1=does not overeat (reference) 2=sometimes overeat 3= always overeats and...

Hi, I am using non-linear regression ('nl' function, with independent variable of age) to estimate coefficient with the least sum of the square value (fitted non-linear curve). Later, I was using 'predict yhat' to predict the y-value for my samples with different age groups. However, the...

Hello, My thesis is about Hybrid choice and multinomial logit. I´m using both commands 'mixlogit' and 'gmnl' in Stata for a dataset that: - Includes 12 choice tasks per person (a total of 81 respondents). - 3 different choices for each choice task - Just one answer must be selected (each...

I am new to programming as well as econometrics and would like to ask some guidance for learning. I am planning to calculate the effectiveness of a public works scheme in country A. By effectiveness I mean the rate of success by which participants were able to return to the open labour market...

Well, to be honest I do not know how to express my problem so I have uploaded an image. http://imgur.com/JkmzVbV I need a command for Stata to exclude families that do not have children that are younger than 18. So, the data set should look like this after the exclusion...
