Re: st: SPOST prchange command for mlogit model
Thank you. I'm probably not going to present them anyways. I really
just wanted to verify that the rank ordering of strength of association
described by the odds ratios coincided with that described by the
standard deviation probabilities. The reason was that two of the odds
ratios did not make intuitive sense to me, and I wanted to be sure that
I was not misinterpreting them. The variable related to this is
behaving weirdly, and I might exclude it from the model anyways.

What you want to do is generally frowned upon because it is
impossible for a dichotomous IV to increase by 1 standard deviation.
Nonetheless, if you absolutely positively want to do it anyway, just
change the coding of the dichotomy from 0-1 to 1-2. (But don't let
anybody know I told you that. :) )
