st: RE: RE: FW: zinb help
Hi,
I am seriously sorry nick I wasn�t trying to be clever ... but I did go
through help and the manuals .. I was looking at the descriptions which does
not say that clearly..it says..
zinb estimates a maximum-likelihood zero-inflated negative binomial
regression of depvar on varlist,where depvar is a nonnegative count
variable.
Of course I didint understand the syntax diagram .. my fault.. but now I
understand that Typing [ and ] means the varlist is optional.
So the command will be zinb (var),inflate(var).. is that right?
Thanks
Rajesh
This refers to the exchange below.
The syntax diagram for -zinb-
makes it clear that independent variables
need not be specified: thus -zinb- may be
used to fit a distribution to a response
(dependent) variable alone.
So, again, do please read the help.

Stata offers many commands for these distributions
and others in the same territory.
Please use -help-, -search- and the manual before
sending such queries to the list.
