Stata Logit

The logit command runs a logistic regression.

Compare the output of logistic, which always shows the odds ratios, while the or option must be specified on logit to show those.

See here for details on factor variables.


Estimates

The estimates can be accessed through any of the following commands...

  • predict creates a variable storing the predicted probability for each case

  • margins displays the marginal predicted probabilities
