Dear Allstat members
My postgraduate student is going to analyze some data on the birth intervals
(in the categorical form) and to consider the factors affecting the
intervals. The selected model is logistics model and he would like to
analyze the data in the graphical chain modeling frame work. As he is
considering families with no child or at least one child simultaneously, so
the response variable and some of the explanatory variables will have
structural zero values for some of the families. Would you please let me
know how we can deal with these sorts of problems? Are there any packages to
analyze this kind of data sets? Any help of comment will be appreciated
