Consider the variables:

y=0  or  y=1

x1=0 or x1=1
x2=0 or x2=1
x3=0 or x3=1

xtotal = x1+x2+x3
xtotal is a scale calculated from the items x1,x2,x3.

********************************************************

Which is the better syntax?

logistic y xtotal

or

xi: logistic y i.xtotal

Other variables will be included in the model.
Other scales will be calculated from n items.

Thank you.
BD.
