Thanks, all, for your responses.
Nevertheless, I'm still wondering if anyone is aware of how to extract or
calculate something equivalent to xtlogit's sigma_u in xtmelogit? And how does
one get from the ereturn values in xtmelogit to the variance (or std. deviation)
estimates listed in the random effects table?
Best,
Doug

Though not a direct answer to your question, you might find the
following pertinent:
Comparing the contributions of groups of predictors: which outcomes
vary with hospital rather than patient characteristics? Journal of the
American Statistical Association, March, 1995 by Rosenbaum, Paul R.;
Ross, Richard N.; Silber, Jeffrey H.
Abstract: Death, adverse occurence and failure are considered as
patient outcomes and compared across hospitals. The effects generated
by differences in patient cases and hospital administration are
removed to determine the quality of care level. Logit models are
compared to examine the impact of patient and hospital
characteristics. It is shown that outcome variations are conditioned
more by patient characteristics.
