Hae guys, When performing a poisson regression sometimes one has to input the offset/exposure variable to account for individual time spent in a certain therapy before acquiring a certain condition of interest, whereby in r offset(log(months)) and in STATA offset(log(months)) results differ. Thereby increasing the difference of the overall outcome, i don't know why any one know why? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

[R] Difference in offset values in R and STATA
Also, is the default base for "log" the same in both programs?
