Have you made sure there are no repetitions in the -varlist- for -logistic-?
Note that in the example below, "x1" does exhibit the behavior you
complained about:


*************
vers 10.1

clear*
set obs 10000

gen x1=26+int(27*runiform())
gen x2=runiform()<.48

gen byte draw = /* 
 */ runiform() < /* 
 */ invlogit(1+.02*x1+.3*x2)

xi: logistic draw x1 i.x2 x1, nolog

Betreff: st: Bug in logit?

I am fitting 120 variables to a binary outcome using logit.  Inevitably,
some of the covariates are collinear.  So, logit drops some of them.
However, one of the dropped variables nevertheless appears in the model with
a non-zero coefficient.  This is surely a bug?

Comments would be appreciated. I can send the stata output if required.
