[gov2001-l] Fw: clarification on the paper improvement

Yes, you can use zelig for the final paper, but you still need to write out the model that you are estimating -- stochastic component and systematic component. Gary will lecture on cross-cultural comparability in survey responses on monday. Have a good weekend...

Can we use Zelig to do that if it has been included or we have to write out the loglikelihood function on our own and use optim to get the coefficient estimates? Btw, what's the topic of Monday's lecture? Thanks. Wei Sincerely, Wei Ha PhD Candidate in Public Policy Harvard University Fax: 1-801-605-1455
