With only 18 observations I wouldn't do anything other than
simple describtive statistics, I might do a normal regression
-regress- with one or maybe two explanatory variables, but
I wouldn't do anything more complex like -intreg-. Having
said that, I don't think that a log-likelihood of -8 is an
exceptionaly small number for a log likelihood, even with
only 18 observations.
Hope this helps,
