Log negative binomial regression

Command line:

   negbin depvar predictors [if] [in] [<fweight/aweight>=var], [lt] [it] 
   [<eform>] o[<offset>] [<nol>] [<nocon>] [<expec(#)>] [<resid>]
   
lt(#)     = tolerance for convergence
it(#)     = number of iterations
eform     = results in exponential form (IRR ratio)
o         = offset variable
nol       = no display of iteration log
nocon     = noconstant model
expec(#)  = number of iterations using Fisher scoring (default=1)
resid     = creates the following variables:
            _mu (fit)                     _lp (linear predictor) 
            _Pear (Pearson residual)      _Dev (deviance residual)
