Hi Jason, I ran up against this same issue a few months back. The discussion thread at the link below should be informative. http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2011-12/msg00182.html Owen On Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 7:16 PM, Jason Bond <jbond@arg.org> wrote: > I'm running negative binomial regression using nbreg and it seems to accept dependent variables that are positive and continuous (i.e., they are not required to be positive integers). Is Stata truncating or rounding these dependent variable values to integer values before estimating the model?
