A specific project related to mass shootings. We really need a lot more of those if we want to understand them.

Did you dabble because of a specific project you were working on? Or just out of theoretical interest?

I've only dabbled and never came up with results I was happy with, but you're right about the standard errors. The distributional assumptions are more important when you can't count on the Central Limit theorem applying.

I wish they were more clear about exactly what they did, but I think the authors might not know themselves, as they just reference the STATA package they jammed everything into.
