Re: [Gretl-users] Poisson Fixed Effects

So, after reading the appropriate literature I now know, that in principle Poisson FE could be estimated by just including the unit dummies. However, there are too many of them in my data set and now I'm stuck with implementing this log-likelihood $\sum _{ i=1 }^{ N }{ \left[ -{ \alpha }_{ i }\sum _{ t=1 }^{ T }{ { \lambda }_{ it }+ } \ln { \left( { \alpha }_{ i } \right) } \sum _{ t=1 }^{ T }{ { y }_{ it }+ } \sum _{ t=1 }^{ T }{ { y }_{ it }\ln { \left( { \lambda }_{ it } \right) } } \right] }$ I think it wont work with 'mle' because of the 'within sums over t periods' and needs an approach like in felogit.
