Hi Statalisters,
I'm wondering if anyone knows why there is no -hascons- option for
xtmixed, analogous to the one provided for -regress-.
Up until now I've been using -nocons- (and ignoring the reported wald
chi2 and model degrees of freedom) when specifying an xtmixed model in
which I provide a constant term. If I need these I simply specify the
same model using different terms to get them.
Is this a bad idea? I have found that, with Stata, there tends to be a
good reason for this type of thing. Any insight would be most
appreciated!!
Thanks,
Jacki
