Order
Binary, fractional, count, and limited outcomes
Is your response binary (for example, employed or unemployed), ordinal
(education level), count (number of children), or censored (ticket sales in an existing venue)? Stata has maximum likelihood
estimators—logistic, probit, ordered probit, multinomial logit,
Poisson, tobit, and many others—that estimate the relationship
between such outcomes and their determinants. A vast array of tools is
available to analyze such models. Predict outcomes and their confidence
intervals. Test equality of parameters or any linear or nonlinear
combination of parameters. And much more.
