  • Using ologit and regress when the assumption of independence of observations is violated?

    Hello! I was hoping to get some advice on whether using ologit/regress/poisson is okay even when violating the assumption of independent observations.

    I’m trying to ascertain the effect of an educational intervention on test scores for a sample of 100 participants. I have information on pre-test scores, immediate post-test scores, and scores from tests performed 3 months post-intervention.

    The immediate pre and post scores are recorded with associated subject identifiers (n=100 for each). The 3 month post-test data has only 38 observations and no identifiers, but does include sex/age/race/specialty/etc.

    What I ended up doing was reshaping the data to long format, then running -ologit- predicting ConFL (1-5 score) as a function of trial (1 = pre-intervention, 2=post, 3=3 months out) and sex/age/race/specialty/discipline. I felt like this gave me the most information about the isolated effect of "trial" on the DV:

    -ologit ConFL i.trial age i.discipline i.race sex i.specialty-


    The other dependent variables of interest were ConFD, Overall, CancerLSS, CancerDSS, InflamLSS, InflamDSS, InfectLSS, InfectDSS, SOCLSS, SOCDSS, LSS, and DSS; was planning on doing the same analysis for each, but using either -poisson- or -regress- for LSS, DSS, and Overall since the range of possible values is much wider.

    Would this approach be acceptable for a publication if I note that the assumption of independence is violated?

    Thank you!

    Well, in a better world, you would have identifiers for the 3-month follow-up and you would use -xtreg-,-xtpoisson-, etc. to better account for the nesting of observations within people.

    Given that you don't have that, I would at least use the -vce(robust)- option with the -regress- and -poisson- analyses. This will at least partially account for the lack of independence.

    I think, also, I would do another analysis that omits the 3-month follow-up, and use the -xt- commands on this data, for which, if I understand correctly, you do have identifiers, as a "sanity check."

      Thanks so much for your very quick response! That sounds like a plan, much appreciated; I'll run that additional analysis with subject identifiers for the pre- and post- observations as well, as you suggested.
