[gov2001-l] [Gov 2001] Re: replication results

by mschoi＠fas.harvard.edu

Dear all, As per the replication results: do we put "all" our replication results on the sheets we submit on 22nd - or just the significant tables and figures? Please, advise and cannot thank you enough. Regards, "Paul" Moon Sub Choi.

[gov2001-l] ps6 and APSA

by fukumoto＠dg8.so-net.ne.jp

Good mornig everyone, I have 2 questiions and 1 news. How to control the number of digits in the presentation of matrix? As for ps6 #1(b), when I reparametarize sigma^2 by exp(r) and get an estimated r and its se, how can I un-reparametarize r's se into sigma^2's se? FYI, if you plan to publish your publishable paper, why don't you make it public at the next year's APSA? http://www.apsanet.org/mtgs/ The propsal deadline comes on Nov. 15. Kentaro

[gov2001-l] FW: Zogby Calling It For Kerry

by jens_hainmueller＠ksg05.harvard.edu

The first election call is for Kerry. We're told the Fox News people look miserable. Yee ha!! Jens > Zogby Calling It For Kerry > > As with all the numbers today, these too should be leavened with salt. But for what it's worth, John Zogby (who was the > most accurate pollster in 2000) has now called the race for Kerry. And by a substantial margin: 311-213, with only > Colorado and Nevada (14 EVs between them) too close to call. Again, I'm not about to declare victory for our side based on > these numbers. But I'm sure not disappointed. > > http://www.zogby.com/

[gov2001-l] sections and problem sets

by olau＠fas.harvard.edu

Hi, everyone. As I mentioned in section, problem set 6 will be due in lecture on Monday, Nov. 4th. Problem set 7 will be due in section on Thursday, Nov. 18th. These problem sets aren't longer than the other problem sets -- this is intended to give you more time to work on your papers. About last week's section and next week's section: Gary covered two really important concepts in lecture last week: 1) maximum likelihood and 2) interpreting regression output via simulation. I covered (1) in section this week and will cover (2) this coming week in section (in other words, I'll present the Zelig deck from APSA). As I mentioned to those who showed up, these two sections are the most important in the course because we're going over how to write a new model, and a generalized framework for interpreting output from all statistical models, and irrespective of the methodology of the original paper, we expect a few things in your final paper: 1) You should choose a model compatible with the hypothesized event generating mechanism (and if the model hasn't been programmed, you should program it yourseif via maximum likelihood, and if you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to read the handout for 10/28...) and 2) You should interpret the regression results in your final paper by simulating quantities of interest (which is why next week is important). So if you couldn't make it to section last Thursday, read the handout and let me know if you have questions. And you should come to section this Thursday, because I don't think Gary is going to go back and cover simulation again. Yours, Olivia Lau
