Hello,
I'm working on the question if 11-12 years old pupils feel disadvantaged by their teachers depending on their social class. I'm using Stata with G-SOEP data to find an empirical answer for my question by using a multivariate regression model. My dependent variable is binary and coded 0=no, 1=yes. Checking the univariate distribution of my dependent variable I found out that only 5% of the pupils in my sample (N=833) feel disadvantaged. So a simple "logit" command won't help because my dependant variables distribution is strongly skewed. Now I wonder what regression method is recommanded in that case. After some research I learned about rare case regressions (especially about "firthlogit") but my superior was not convinced by that. He told me to check regressions based on skewed link functions. I did some further research but found no accordingly regression method I can use to check my question mentioned above about the teacher-pupil-relation. May I ask you for your opinion, what regression method (Stata command) you would use in my case?
best wishes,
Harald
