Notes:

1. Here's an addendum on lowess smoothing, quadratic fits and linear splines. You may also want to have a look at the famous Anscombe datasets shown in class.

2See also an addendum fitting over-dispersed Poisson and negative binomial regresion models, to complement the corresponding addendum to the lecture notes.

3Instructions on how to create pseudo-observations for survival analysis from first principles or using Stata's stsplit are available here.

The Stata logs for panel data models start here.
