Yes, you are modeling log odds rather than expected values,
so the correct interpretation takes quite a bit of effort
in these types of models. If you are new to odds ratios,
I would start with trying to understand the results from
a simple -logit- model, move on to a mlogit, and than
generalize that to your -nlogit- and -clogit- models.
Hope this helps,
Maarten
