Austin Hi,
Thank you very much for your reply!
What I have as a dependent var. are 500 respondents' reports of the
number of times they travelled abroad to visit their friends and
relatives over the course of their adult lives. Some respondents yet,
who have relatives abroad, did not travel at all.
So the observations are censored at zero, with mean =2.2, max =50 and
stdev= 3.8.
Do you think in that case that the general methods of moments will be better?
Thanks much!!!
Anat
