Iff facacy the test is not is are these two estimates different from one
another.
If there is no overlap, you can be sure that they are statistically
significant difference between the two estimates at 95% confidence
interval.
Since the confidence interval does not include zero, they are
statistically significantly different from one another.
Graphs can tell you something, but not necessarily everything that you
want to know.
Count Variables
-we observe how many times an event occurred, not the rate itself
Poisson distribution
-discrete distribution
-non-negative
Rate of events is the expected number of events during the observation time
period
Implies that the mean of the expected counts is the same as the variance of
the expected counts. Here we only have one landa.
As landa increases, the Poisson distribution becomes more like the normal
distribution.
You can use the sign of coefficients, and the significance in these models
(UNLIKE ordered logits).
What needs to be the case in order for us not to get marginal effects it is
not linear.
One common quantity of interest is the expected event count for a particular
set of values of X.
What is the probability that in this particular district, we observe 9 riots? For
example
Use margins in stata for this no need to worry about the equation.
The poisson model does not place an upper limit on the number of possible
events.
How many overrides can we observe? We can only override how many vetos
there are in the first place.
poisson[...],exposure(ln(varname))
poisson[...],offset(varname)
Dispersion
Over time, in this case, heteroskedasticty means that the number of events
Mean is no longer equal to the variance so now poisson is misplaced.
What this is going to mean is that the standard errors are going to be
underestimated.
----Can interpret coefficients the same way, most of the things are the same
as the poisson model
----when alpha is equal to zero, it is essentially a poisson model.
Zero-inflated Models
Then you take all of the model with the places that di d experience an
events.
You can check to make sure these 5 categories are justified when you run a
model?
When do you use test, and when do you use lincome?
You can use either. These two tests are very similar. These two tests are
going to substatantively return another result.
