[gov2001-l] does anyone use texmaker?

by msen＠fas.harvard.edu

Hi there, Just wondering if anyone's tried Texmaker (Windows) for LaTeX. (I'm trying to figure out which LaTeX editor to use.) I like the interface, but it keeps giving me errors when I try to compile what I've written (it's told me several times that "log not found"). Does anyone have experience with this program? If so, could you let me know what I need to do to get it to compile my document? thanks, Maya

[gov2001-l] Question on plots for "Properties of Estimators"

by luyizhao＠fas.harvard.edu

Hi I was wondering what type of plots part a.) and b.) of section "Properties of Estimators" are being asked for? For example a scatterplot of the means estimated by the two methods, or a histogram? Or do we have a choice in choosing what type of graph. thanks, ~Luyi Z.

[gov2001-l] Writing up ps1 without LateX

by skreiss＠fas.harvard.edu

Hello all. Justin or Holger, I just wanted to confirm with you that it's okay if we don't use LaTeX in this first problem set. I have only recently been able to download the version for mac and am not versed enough in the language/syntax to use it for all parts of this assignment. Given the LaTeX session on Friday, I don't imagine that this is a problem but just wanted to be certain. Thanks! Sheila

by Gavril_Bilev＠brown.edu

Dear all, I am looking for a partner for the final project and if anyone is interested this is an article I would like to consider doing it on (I have not obtained either permission or the dataset yet). I have other possible articles and am open to suggestions for doing something else. If you need info on me: I am a 3rd year graduate student in the Polisci program in Brown interested in comparative politics (post-communist countries specifically). I typically come to Cambridge every Monday and Wednesday. Email me if you're interested, Best, Gavril Bilev

[gov2001-l] latex command in R

by jwjung＠fas.harvard.edu

Hi, I remember Holger used the "latex" command in R to make regression tables during the LaTeX section on Friday, but I can't find the command. What should I do? Thanks. Best, Jiwook

[gov2001-l] contacting authors

by king＠harvard.edu

Hi gang. one of the points in 'publication, publication' is to do as much work as you can yourself before contacting the author for more information. pls try to do this. the strange thing about having published my handout is that many of the people you contact have read my handout. 2 of them actually contacted me and asked whether they should provide the info some of you asked for (both were nice about it and I told them to deal with you all like any other such request). the advantage for you in following the advice is that there is only so much patience any author will have with those asking for advice. so you want to reserve the finite good will they have for your really hard questions that you can't answer on your own. In any event, no problem, but read that article again! Gary

[gov2001-l] clarification question on problem D

by msen＠fas.harvard.edu

just a quick question. on the last problem, it asks us to find the standard deviation of the beta estimates from the bootstrapped samples. does the problem refer to the standard deviation of the distribution of these estimates (i.e., using the var() function, or something like that)? or is it referring to the standard errors produced by the 100 regressions done on these bootstrapped samples (i.e., taking the mean of the standard error coefficients, or something like that)? thanks, maya
