Hi All, I am having some difficulty with regression. My model employs negative binomial regression, the dependent variable is a count and the explanatory variables are proportions. The problem is I get ridiculously large IRRs when I treat the explanatory variables as proportions (e.g 0.3445, etc) but when I multiply by a constant, say 100 to imply a percentage, I get more "meaningful" output. Is it valid or proper to enter 25% as 25 in stata instead of 0.25? I hope I am clear enough and thanks in advance.
