want to study more of this type of analysis.
Hello! My outcome is the ceod index, is an average or median to population level, but based on count individual data. The ceod index is the addition of teeth with decay, teeth with extraction indication and filled teeth by individual. Then, one calculates the average ceod for the population in study. Therefore, the distribution is with excess zeros (about 30% of the observations) and over-dispersion.
I need to calculate the ICC of the clusters in a multilevel model with negative binomial distribution. I used Meglm command, but Stata does not deliver the residual variance. I do not find this option a postestimation tools. Normally, I used "estat ic" command, but this option is not possible for Meglm.
THANKS!!!!
