Abstract: overdisp provides a direct alternative to identify overdispersion in Stata, being a faster and an easier way to choose between Poisson and binomial negative estimations in the presence of count-data. Thus, overdisp can be implementd without the necessity of previously estimating Poisson or binomial negative models.
