Re: st: Regressions with dependent continuous variable with bounded range

Dear Brendan and Nick,
Thank you very much for the suggestions! It seems that I was thinking
in these lines as well, since I see that my do file has the folllwing
code: twoway (qfitci y x, stdf) (scatter y x), by(year) , given that I
have a panel of observations (N = 183, T = 6). I believe that my worry
was really due to the (upper) bounded nature of the dependent
variable.
Sincerely,
Suryadipta.
