dis as err "Are the standard errors from my -logistic- output wrong?"
===================================================
My favourite biostatistician says: "There are two things not to look
at in the -logistic- output, the standard error and the Pseudo R2."
The confidence interval in -logistic- is calculated from the standard
error of log(OR), as displayed by the -logit- command. The "standard
error" displayed in logistic is not this original standard error, and
it is not used for calculating the confidence interval of the OR
estimate. So it is pretty useless, I believe.
Hope this helps
