Subject | st: Modeling outcomes with xtgee |
Date | Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:07:00 +0200 |
Hi everybody... I need some help... I'm trying to use panel data analysis to model continuos, ordinal and binary outcomes (it's a before-and-after study, no control group) ... I read that xtgee would allow me to do so (through different -family- and -link- commands), so I' trying to use it (actually, adding gllamm for the case of ordinal dependent variables) For GEE, I'm including, in the same model, as predictors: a) invariant variables (sex, race...) b) time varying variables c) a dummy for year ("after"), in order to see the averaged change in that outcome and d) the initial outcome value, in order to account for the baseline Are these decisions right, in your opinion? Sorry about my english, I hope everyone understands...
