Challenge: Count modeling
(electronic music) - [Instructor] Let's look at some count data challenges. These will help reinforce the knowledge that you've already gained from the previous videos. The first challenge is to explore a new data set called articles. What kind of data set is this, and which variable is a count variable? The second challenge is to estimate a Poisson model of the count variable, using all available regressors. Can you interpret the output? Which variable seem to matter most? The next challenge is to investigate the fit and appropriateness of this model. What might be wrong? The final challenge is to estimate an alternative model and interpret its output.
