More Examples of Running Regression with Stata Project 1: Project 6.28 on p.254 of the Textbook Refer to CDI (County Demographic Information) data set in Appendix C.2. You have been asked to evaluate two alternative models for predicting the number of active physicians (Y) in a CDI. Proposed model I includes as predictor variables total population (X1), land area (X2), and total personal income (X3). Proposed Model II indicates as predictor variables population density (X1, total population divided by land area), percent of population greater than 64 years old (X2), and total personal income (X3). First, let’s create a new variable population density (X1, total population divided by land area) for model II and examine the data. . cd D:\s919_2008\s7 D:\s919_2008\s7 . clear . use cdi,replace . gen pdens=pop/land . describe Contains data from cdi.dta obs: 440 vars: 18 size: 66,440 (99.4% of memory free) storage display value variable name type format label variable label id double %10.0g ID county str21 %21s County state str2 %2s State land double %10.0g Land area pop double %10.0g Total population pop1834 double %10.0g Percent of population aged 18-34 pop65 double %10.0g Percent of population 65 or older doctors double %10.0g Number of active physicians hbeds double %10.0g Number of hospital beds scrimes double %10.0g Total serious crimes phsg double %10.0g Percent high school graduates pb double %10.0g Percent bachelor degrees pblwpov double %10.0g Percent below p
