Subject | st: How to take into account correlation in Logistic regression using Stata |
Date | Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:31:39 -0200 (BRST) |
Dear statalisters, I have data for 500 subjects. Subjects were sampled from a very small community. Hence, there are participants from the same family (father, mother, son, etc.). The dependent variable is a binary one (1=yes, 0=no). I would like to fit a logistic regression model to test the influence of a categorical variable on the odds for the binary outcome - allowing for covariates. In the -logistic- command, the cluster/robust options account for the lack of independence among subjects. However, I am unsure if those options fully suffice (i.e. if one needs fancier strategies in Stata). Would it be possible to you to drop some lines on that issue, please? All the best, Tiago * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
