Hi everybody, I would like to estimate prevalence ratio and confidence intervals.
I tried to do a log-binomial regression, but there was a failure of convergence. Now, I would like to learn how to do a poisson regression with robust variance. I am trying to estimate coefficients with poisson regression and then get standard errors that are adjusted for heteroskedasticity. glm22<- svyglm(y~x1+x2+x3+offset(log(x4)), data = banco, family = poisson, design= design_tarv) # Y has a binomial distribution (0/1) # X1, X2, X3 e X4 are categorical variables. #I am using the library(survey) because it is an analysis of Complex Sample Survey Data . summary(glm22) Call: svyglm(y~x1+x2+x3+ offset(log(x4)),data = banco, family = poisson, design = design_tarv) Survey design: svydesign(ids = ~conglomerado, strata = ~estrato, data = banco, weights = ~peso) Coefficients: Estimate Std.

Is this the correct form to do poisson regression with robust variance? Thank you for the help, Roberta. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
