Dear Statalisters:
If the interest is to run a linear regression of a
continuous variable as the response, say level of beta carothen, and for
very small values the results are zero because the equipment can only show
values equal or greater than .04, the use of -tobit- can be an statistical
alternative?
Let´s assume there is no money to buy a better device.
Best regards,
josé maria
Dear Austin and Nick:
