Hi all,
I am estimating a Fractional logit model. Stata help says
using
glm y x1 x2...xk, family(binomial) link(logit)
is same as "logistic" command and the later is infact preferred. Because
family(binomial) means that y has the Bernoully distribution with values 0
and 1 only. But my y variable is a continuous variable (a fraction) taking
any values between 0 and 1. In this case which family and link should I be
using?
Is "family(gaussian) link(logit)" the right one?
Also what is the criteria of deciding which scale parameter to be used?
I mean whether scale(1) or scale(x2) etc.
Kindly advise.
Rijo John.
