Health officials are interested in the determinants of infant health. One measure of infant health is birth weight. There are many factors that affect birth weight and the dataset provided (bwght.dta) provides a selection of variables that potentially could be related to infant health outcomes. Using this dataset, you are required to use regression analysis and report on those results for use in formulating health policy. You may estimate as many regressions as you like but you must choose a maximum of 3 on which to report the results and justify your choices. Using graphical techniques, descriptive statistics and econometric analysis, please analyse the determinants of birth weight. Your analysis should include regression, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. Write a short report (200-250 words) summarizing your findings and present your results in a professional way with attention paid to language and grammar. You are required to submit your report (Word or pdf) which includes any graphs, charts, ouput, your do-file and log file. bwght.dtaPreview the documentView in a new window
