Models for Count Outcomes ( 计次变量模型) Count variables indicate how many times something has happened. §美国总统否决法案的次数 §某教授发表论文的篇数 §非洲国家发生政变的次数 2

 • Estimates from the linear regression models are inefficient, inconsistent, and biased –

• Estimates from the linear regression models are inefficient, inconsistent, and biased – Functional form – Nonsensical predictions 3

– A frequently adopted remedy for linear regression model is to make a natural

– A frequently adopted remedy for linear regression model is to make a natural logarithmic transformation of the dependent variable so that a log-linear function is acquired –Because zero is one of the observed values, a constantc is often added to the dependent variable. Yi, i. e. , ln(Yi +c) 4

 • Interpretation of PRM – the expected value of the count variable (rate

• Interpretation of PRM – the expected value of the count variable (rate of occurrence): listcoef, prchange – the probability of counts: prvalue – predicted count: prtab 11

 • Interpretation of PRM 1. Change in for changes in the independent variables

• Interpretation of PRM 1. Change in for changes in the independent variables – factor ( or percent) change in expected count using  listcoef – 在其他变数固定不变的情形下, 女性 科学家的平均论文数是男性科学家的 女性科学家的0. 8倍(或, 少 20%) 12
