Dear LimDep Users,
This is a re-post as I am still hoping for advice on one issue.
I have discrete choice survey data I am analyzing with NLOGIT techniques.
In an effort to correct for non-response bias I am
trying to weight the data from certain zipcodes above that
received from other zipcodes. I am attempting to use the "WTS"
command with a weighting variable I have defined to achieve this.
Has anybody any experience with weighting discrete choice data
for a regression? My approach using WTS is giving odd results,
all the regressors are going from highly significant to highly insignif.
I have tried using a unit weighting variable, i.e. a constant,
and this yields odd results too, whereas I would have
expected results identical to the unweighted regression. I have
read the LimDep manual on this and still am unclear whether the
WTS command is applicable for discrete choice.
A Sincere Thanks for any thoughts on this,
