HI I'm a new EZI user and I just downloaded it to my computer at home which runs XP. It seemed to download successfully, and I was able to open the program, select import (to import data). However, I'm not able to get past specifying the names of the variables to be imported as when I hit "enter" the system shuts itself off and all the windowns close. It's probably something simple like I hit the wrong button, but has anyone else ever had this problem? Thanks Melissa Levitt --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

unit of analysis for EI models

by Gregory Pettis

Imagine I am sitting down to have EI estimate turnout for whites and blacks in two states. My hypothesis is that black candidates increase white and black turnout in the Congressional districts in which they run. I have precinct-level turnout for each precinct in the states, as well as precinct-level racial composition. I have a choice as to two ways to estimate the turnout rates. I can estimate them Congressional district by Congressional district, or I can estimate all of the turnout rates for whites and blacks for the entire state at one time. If I estimate these rates all at once for the state, then I am borrowing the most strength from all of the turnout in all of the state. The downside, however, might be that if I estimate turnout for each district separately then I am allowing those districts to have turnout rates that are more different from each other than would be the case if I estimated the white and black turnout rates for each state at the same time. In other words, we might expect EI to produce different answers depending on how we run the models in the way I have described. My question is, which way is preferable? And my second question, how different would we expect the turnout rates to be depending upon how I run EI? Thanks, Greg Gregory A.

non-convergence

by Gregory Pettis

For my dissertation I've estimated nine seperate EI model specifications for 9 seperate U.S. states, with most of the models employing a variety of covariates. All of the models' ML functions converged normally, except for two of the states. In the first state 3 of the 9 converged, and in the second 5 of the nine. One of my advisors has instructed me to explain why in these two states the models failed to converge. The failure to converge does not seem to be dependent on the numbers of covariates. Obviously the models without covariates converged, as did the models with the most numbers of covariates. In one of the states none of the models with the covariates which were dichotomized converged, and in the other state convergence was not dependent on how the covariates were coded. Also, since there was no convergence, I don't have any output to evaluate. What do you suggest? Greg Gregory A.

an actual EI question

by Gregory Pettis

I'm emailing the first actual EI question to the list in months, instead of ads for hair growth, etc. My question concerns the exchange in Political Analysis in 2003. The final article, co-authored by everyone, does not address the cross-contamination issue. Gary, what's your position on this? In my analysis I'm studying black and white turnout, and in my second stage regressions, using Lewis' (2000) FGLS, white and black turnout almost always go up or down together. What do you think the likelihood is that cross-contamination could be occuring? Are there any diagnostics? H&S2 make it sound like it's pretty much a given to occur, although it seems most of the EI work I've seen published doesn't support this view (such as Gay 2001, where white and black turnout tended to move independently and not together).

Re: [ei] Re: another (actual) EI-2 question

The best use of the extended >model, as the basic model, is to go all the way to the precinct-level >estimates... I understand the argument for burdening the estimation stage with lots of hypothesized covariates (although I don't like it!). I also understand the problem with using the alphas as statistical summaries. They just move around the bivariate normal from which the precinct estimates are drawn; they do not reflect the actual relationship between covariates and estimated behavior that emerges after the bounds constrain precinct estimation. But I'm not clear on what you are prescribing when you say people should go to the precinct estimates if they want to report the relationship between various explanatory variables and the (estimated) group behavior. I thought that's what I was doing with the second-stage regression. Can you provide any guidance? >(Was it Huey Long who accused a campaign opponent of being a "known >matriculator"?)

He is quoted as having said the following about Claude Pepper (see http://www.lincolninstitute.org/archives/kennedy/0303.html) - was a shameless extrovert - practiced celibacy before his marriage - had a sister who was a thespian in wicked New York - matriculated before entering college - was a well-known heterosexual in college steve voss -------------------------------------------------------------- D.
