Dear Statalister,
I am working on repeated cross sections, following Deaton (1995). I have generated cohort by mean of the year of head of household (bcoh). I used logit regression for the analysis of cross sectional database. 
Using the command: 
collapse (mean) varlist [weight] , by (year bcoh country)

I obtain a new database. 
The problem is that my dependent variable is now 0<=y<=1. What kind of command I have to use now?
frcount for the fractional response model or a simple regr?

Any help is welcome.
Best
Roberta

You earlier stated that you wanted to do a -logit- analysis.
This type of averaging does not work in non-linear models,
like -logit-. You can do the computations, but the results
just don't mean what you think they mean. Instead you should
look at -xtlogit- and -xtmelogit-.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
