Ang. st: AW: var-covar matrix from logistic regression

[Tomas Lind <tomas.lind@sll.se>]

Thanks for your answer.

I was thinking about using variance-covariance coefficients in calculations
or just display them like I can display:

di exp(_b[smoke])

Re coefficients: what do you mean by "use betas in some calculations?"

After estimation, you can access them as seen in the third line here. If
you
want to store them, i.e. turn the ephemeral "e(b)" into something longer
lasting, see the fourth line.

Betreff: st: var-covar matrix from logistic regression

Dear Stata,

I have done logistic regression with logit.

How can I look at the variance-covariance matrix? I understand it is saved
in something called e(b), but I can´t see it!

Can I use one of the coefficients like it is possible to use betas in some
calculations? How to do it!

/Tomas
