Re: st: linear probability model (LPM)

Now I can't resist to repeat my favourite feature request: I would like
Stata to output the baseline odds (-exp(_cons)-) when it presents the
odds ratios. It is not only nice to know that the odds of success is
e.g. twice as large for men than for women, but it is also informative
to know whether the odds of success for women is e.g. 0.01 success for
every failure or 1 success for every failure.
I agree with Maarten. I believe there is a Stata tip or FAQ that
gives a workaround. Create a variable equal to 1, and include it in
your model along with the -nocons- option, e.g.
. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. gen one = 1
. logit foreign price mpg one, or nocons nolog
Logistic regression Number of obs = 74
LR chi2(3) = .
Log likelihood = -36.462189 Prob > chi2 = .
