Hi Bilal,
Thanks for your previous help. Sorry to bother you
again. I have few
other questions that I need help with respect to Zelig.
1. I am trying to use e.i. R into C in order to calculate quantities of
interest at precinct level. I tried
s.out$qi$ev
but I got the simulation results instead of precinct level results I
believe. How can I get precinct level results in e.i. R into C along
with confidence intervals?
The contributors of this model should be able to answer you question. I
will forward your message to them just in case they miss this message.
2. I have many missing values in my data as well as in
many precints a
particular political party candidate did not contest. I can not use list
wise deletion as it will really make the data very short and un
reliable. What should I do in this case?
Multiple imputation is a standard approach to the missing data problem,
but in this case I assume that these data are not actually missing in the
usual sense (they are missing because there are no candidates). In
principle, there are ways to deal with this kind of problem, but I cannot
think of any software that does this.
3. What about complex sample module. Is it ready for
use?
Yes, they are there now! See survey.xxx models.

Thanks again for your help
