Hello
I have the sum of deaths over a year period in a nation by sex age
nationality cause_of_death and
district of residence and the mid-year population by age and sex
(exposed_population)
I am interested in the effect of nationality on risk of death
then:
collapse (sum) deaths, by (nation sex age exposed_population)
xi: nbreg deaths nation sex i.age, e(exposed_population)
resulting nationality: b=0.77(expected result)
but with the addition of cause and district it goes haywire
collapse (sum) deaths, by (nation sex age exposed_population district
cause_of_death)
xi: nbreg deaths nation sex i.age, e(exposed_population)
resulting nationality: b=7.2(non expected result)
How can I diagnose the problem here?
Thanks
Andrew Herring
