Re: st: Comparing Regression Coefficients Across Subsamples

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

Several questions are bundled together here. Working backwards from
the easiest:

3. Analysis of variance is the method centred on the comparison of
means of several groups.

2. However, your dataset is a panel dataset gathered over time and so
plain analysis of variance is unlkely to be suitable. Much depends on
quite what dependence structure you think underlies your data and thus
your regressions (of what on what?).

1. I can't comment on Cohen's recipes as I have not read the paper cited here.
