Hi Patrick and Miya, Just a sanity check, but are we suppose to get the same MLE estimates in 1.3 and 1.2? I?ve gotten different estimates for my beta coefficients, and I just want to see if that?s kosher before I go check for bugs.

The degrees of freedom was randomly chosen and unrelated to the number of variables in the model. 2009/3/16 Eitan Hersh <hersh at fas.harvard.edu> Hi, When generating predicted values in question 1.5, I assume we no longer want to use a t-distribution with 3 degrees of freedom, since there are more explanatory variables in this model as compared to the model in 1.3. Is this right? Do we use a t-dist with 5 d.f.s in question 1.5? -Eitan _______________________________________________ gov2001-l mailing list gov2001-l at lists.fas.harvard.edu http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/gov2001-l -- Patrick Lam Department of Government and Institute for Quantitative Social Science, Harvard University http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~plam _______________________________________________ gov2001-l mailing list gov2001-l at lists.fas.harvard.edu http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/gov2001-l
