Re: st: stata code for gary king's ecological inference method?

[Richard Goldstein <richgold@ix.netcom.com>]

I am not an expert on King's method, or on ecological inference in general.

However, I think that the following citation may be of interest:

McCue, KF (2001), "The Statistical Foundations of the EI Method", _The 
American Statistician_, 55: 106-110.  Here is a quote of part of the abstract: 
"This article shows that EI is in fact an application of the standard 
statistical theory of prediction...."  The point is that you MAY not need 
special code.
