Round of numbers
Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2014 6:45 am
Hi all,
I want to round of decimal data, i.e. o.5 to 1 and 0.4 to zero, so I can use the Poisson count estimation method. Question 1: How can I before using the Poisson estimator round of decimal data to pure numbers? I have a follow-up question which I hope it Ok I present here: Question 2: Is it possible to test in EViews8 whether a variable is Poisson-distributed? By choosing "View ---> Descriptive Statistics & Tests" it is possible to test data for some distribution, but, as far as I can see, not Poisson. Any suggestions?
