st: Censored variables

["Andreas Drichoutis" <adrihout@aua.gr>]

Dear all,

Assume you have a vector of binary censored variables at zero, X, and that
you need to create a new variable that will be the sum of the X's (e.g.
V=X1+X2+.). What will be the problem if one uses V as a dependent variable
in an OLS or count data model? How do you go about it in Stata?

Thanks - Andreas Drichoutis
