Title: Poisson estimators for space time series in Stata

Are there any ado files or other programs that will allow Poisson estimators for space time series in Stata? I have some rain and temperature data that I wish to compare to malaria incidence over time, and with regular Poisson or negative binomial regression, I face the problem of autocorrelation between months of malaria incidence. I have done time series analysis with the ARIMA command, but I am not sure if it is entirely appropriate for the relatively small dataset I have (rain, temp, malaria cases over 36 months).

I have found a program within R that will do Poisson estimators for time series (PESTS), but I’m not familiar enough with R to know how to input my data. Does anyone know of any Stata programs that will incorporate moving averages and autoregression into Poisson estimations?

Thanks,
Chandy John
