Re: EzI & Windows NT

by Gary King

EzI works under NT. YOu have to make sure your config and autoexec files are set up right, but then it will run.

non parametric EI

by Linda Moore

Thanks for the responses to my earlier posted message re setting of priors. I am still working on my gender data (looking at gender, turnout and voting outcomes in NZ elections 1893-1954)- though take on board that the limited variation between the groups may reduce the reliability of existing ecological methods such as EI. As Stephen Voss suggested, I certainly did find that the Palmquist inflation factor was very large, and the standard errors were relatively high (eg:0.0147 for estimated Female turnout of 0.9014). What I have found since then is that the non-parametric version of EzI seems to be giving good results where I can compare them with the truth. eg: for the 1919 election the true values are Female aggregate turnout=0.792 (min 0.655, max=0.882) Male aggregate turnout=0.750 (min 0.539, max 0.871) and the estimates using the non-parametric version with defaults are BetaB (female) = 0.7760, 0.0166 BetaW (male) = 0.7661, 0.0157 I can slightly improve these estimates by shifting the defaults. My question is - has anyone else used the non-parametric version, and/or have any comments on its advantages and shortcomings? Once again, any pointers would be much appreciated as I am not a statistician and new to the area. Thank you.

setting priors in EzI

by Linda Moore

I am new to this list, and new to the field of EI and am hoping I can get some advice. I am a history graduate student at the University of Canterbury, NZ, and I am looking at gender and voting over a 50 year period, 1893-1954, during which there were 22 elections. The official election results for this period included the number of men and the number of women who cast a vote for each of the 80 odd electorates for each election. I am keen to use EzI to test relationships between gender and the party vote and between gender and the vote for and against the prohbition of alcohol. Since I know gender turnout I have used this to test EzI, using x=proportion of the registered voters who are women t=overall turnout (number of votes/number of registered voters) n=number of registered voters to estimate BetaB=female turnout (number of votes cast by women/women registered as votes). and BetaW=male turnout (number of votes cast by men/men registered as voters) The software seems to work okay, and indeed is very easy to use, but gives results that systematically overestimate female turnout and underestimate male turnout. I tried using co-variates, but was warned I needed to adjust the priors. (I got the message "Warning: Including covariates without priors works but is not generally recommended"). I am uncertain how to determine priors, other than just taking a random stab. Are there any guidelines? Can any one point me towards publically available examples that show how others have set their priors? Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: ezi for windows 2000?

by Gary King

It definitely works, although you still have to make sure ansi.sys is configured properly as in the Docs. I'd guess that's probably the problem.
