st: multilevel logistic and gllamm

["stata_user stata_user" <stata_dofile@hotmail.co.uk>]

Hi,

I am using gllamm to test a multilevel binary logistic model, I have data 
for indvidulas nested within countries.

I first test an empty model, without covariates , the variance of the random 
effect (level 2) was almost equal to its standard error  , Var = 0.25 and 
SE=0.22

I then conclude that my dataset is homogenous with respect to my outcome and 
consider a standard logistic model without the variable country in the final 
modl.

Is this a valid  model building ?

Thanks a lot for any comments.

Sami
