I've been asked to validate a model created by someone else and need some help on how the final score is calculated. Have put lots of detail; apologies for the post length. The output (dependent) variable is ordinal scale with 5 points (i.e. 1-5) representing an assessment of risk (not risky...

I am attempting to perform an inverse probability of treatement weighting on observational data.

Hi folks, The disclaimer first: I'm not primarily trained in statistics, so this problem might sound very naive to the experienced statisticians. Your expertise is what I'm looking for and any help is highly appreciated. Now the problem: I am supposed to calculate total chocolate consumption...

I am not a statistician but would appreciate an outside perspective on my current project analyzing citibike data. This is a bit complicated so please bear with me. My goal is to determine to what extent bikes are delivered to stations when they need them, that is, the the average amount of...

Dear Stat Talkers! I'm using the following Stata command (see help mean): mean x, std(a) stdw(b) over(c) to get age-standardised mean or proportion of a variable of interest x. a= variable for age-group and b= variable for weights for each group. x can be a continuous variable or a...

I have a pool of subsequences, each one associated with a probability (and other properties that you don't need to know) that quantifies how frequently that subsequence occurs. In order to select those subsequences that may be part of a longer sequence (template sequence), I align them to the...

Hi all. Wish you all well. I have to do weighting for an alcohol longitudinal study(2011-2013). How do I go about getting the final weights? Some people stopped responding as the survey progressed leaving only the drinkers responded in the end(2013). Does it sound statistically right...

Should income categories of a sample intercept survey be weighted to match the income proportions of the population of a city? Also, what guidelines should be used when deciding on category breaks between income groups? When looking at responses to various questions between income groups...

I have a sample of 194 households from 3 villages. The number of hh from each village is 61, 67 and 66. I used a 90% confidence level and 10% margin of error to determine sample sizes. (total household population for all three villages is 4194 households). The total sample size for all three...
