st: listcoef help command with negative binomial offset
Date

I used a listcoef, help percent command after conducting a negative
binomial regression (nbreg) with an offset of logged neighborhood
population. My question is whether the help interpretation provided by
this command, "percent change in expected count for SD increase in X" is
the proper wording for interpreting the coefficients in the model
output. In other words, did my use of an offset variable, which
considers exposure rate, make the interpretation of the listcoef help
statement incorrect? Is it telling me the right wording, particularly
the use of the word count? Do I need to do some additional
transformations to properly interpret the coefficients or the listcoef
output?
Any help is much appreciated - Brian Renauer
