Sorry for picking late again.
I would recommend reading the Negative Binomial Regression by Joseph
Hilbe and James Hardin of the Cambridge University Publishing. It
contains much of the details about count data modelling and related
issues. Also you can download the extension to the Book freely from
Hilbe's webpages. Also stata codes and ado are given from the links
given below.

I hope this gives you answers to all your querries as I have found
answers to most of my querries from Hilbe's work. Thanks to Nick Cox
for guiding me firstly to these resources by hinting to use xtnbreg
and other ados, Joseph Hilbe, James Hardin and others to make my count
data practice easier.
Good Luck Raja.
