st: Spatial autocorrelation in logistic regression
Date
Thu, 22 Dec 2005 10:38:46 -0600
I am doing work in which I have a binary outcome (late stage diagnosis of
breast cancer)
and a number of variables at the level of the census tract. It is common
practice in
epidemiology to use aggregate measures of this kind, in addition to
person-level data,
to model binary outcomes, however I have not seen any attempt to correct
for spatial
auto-correlation in that literature. For continuous outcomes, doing so has
become a fairly straight forward
task, but a search of both Stata space and more generally has not turned up
any software
for the logistic case. I am new to this, and could easily have missed
something, but could
anyone direct me to either published work of software resources?
