Just try it out for the first question:

***
clear*

inp obs_rrt T unit
0 5 4
3 6 4
2 7 4
4 8 4
3 9 4
1 10 4
3 2 3
1 3 3
1 4 3
1 5 3
0 6 3
1 7 3
end

xtset unit T, monthly

//Does not converge
//xtpoisson obs_rrt, re

//Does converge, different model
xtpoisson obs_rrt T, re
***

The first version does not converge (thus commented out), the second one does. -xtset- only serves to tell Stata that it has panel data in memory, so you have to specify covariates separately...

Hi

I am using Stata 9.2 on windows.

I am fitting an xtpoisson model to unbalanced panel data (n counts of death over T months), with a grouping variable called unit that signifies the ICU
where the data come from. E.g

obs_rrt T unit
0 5 4
3 6 4
2 7 4
4 8 4
3 9 4
1 10 4
3 2 3
1 3 3
1 4 3
1 5 3
0 6 3
1 7 3

Question 1.

When I specify

tis T

my understanding is that this does not explicitly model T in the model (I
want to model the death rate in relationship to time, amongst other things),
and I would have to specify T in the command line to do this. Is this
correct?

Question 2.

I would like to specify T and some other exposure covariates as fixed
effects, and unit as a random effect in the model. If I specify all of these
as independent variables in the command line, and then use the re option,
how can I tell which is modelled as fixed, and which is modelled as random?

Thanks,

Mark Marshall
