AIC and BIC values given by -glm- estimation adjust the log-likelihood and penalty term by the number of observations in the model. See post: http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2009-06/msg00884.html Hope this helps, _____________ - _______________ Achilleas Vassilopoulos Agricultural University of Athens, Dept. of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, Lab. of Political Economy and European Integration.

I don't think those stats are legitimate if the observations are different. But I wonder why they are different in the first place? I think you would usually want to be analyzing the same cases if you want to compare two models. It would be easy enough to do a listwise deletion of all cases that have missing data in the two models. ------------------------------------------- Richard Williams, Notre Dame Dept of Sociology OFFICE: (574)631-6668, (574)631-6463 HOME: (574)289-5227 EMAIL: Richard.A.Williams.5@ND.Edu WWW: http://www.nd.edu/~rwilliam * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
