I typed:
glm depvar indepvar1 indepvar2... indepvarn, link(logit) robust nolog
when I tried
glm depvar indepvar1 indepvar2... indepvarn, link(logit)
family(binomial) robust nolog
I got
"note: depvar has noninteger values"
Actually, the great majority of my data are zeros: 204581 over 213000
observation. What do you mean exactly with "model separately"?
Austin:
Sorry, I gave a wrong information: this is actually 1-H, that is why I
have several 0s
Let me say it more in detail:
Dep var = Log(1+G)
where G=1-H and H=S(n/N)^2 (an Herfindahl index)
I have 0 for all the cases in which H=1 and for all the cases in which n and N=0
Al:
no clustering variable, but indeed I have 10 observations for each
firm (I use dummies for dealing with this) and indeed some indep
variables have the same values for all the 10 obs and sometimes the
depvar is the same for some of the 10 obs
Thank you!
