This option can be set using {help iis}. {p 4 8 2}{cmd:irr} reports the estimated coefficients transformed to incident rate ratios, i.e., exp(b) rather than b. Standard errors and confidence intervals are similarly transformed. This option affects how results are displayed, not how they are estimated. {p 4 8 2}{cmd:cluster} allows for cross-sectional clustering of residuals at a more aggregated level than the individual fixed effect. This is an unusual assumption and users are responsible for providing their own interpretation of the results obtained by specifiying this option {title:Examples} {p 4 8 2}{cmd:. xtpqml y x, i(id)} {p 4 8 2}{cmd:. xtpqml y x, fe i(id)} {p 4 8 2}{cmd:. xtpqml y x, i(id) irr} {p 4 8 2}{cmd:. xtpqml y x, i(id) cluster(group)} {title:Also see} {p 4 13 2} Manual: {hi:[U] 23 Estimation and post-estimation commands},{break} {hi:[XT] xtpoisson} {p 4 13 2} Online: help for {help poisson}, {help xtpoisson}; {help xtnbreg}
