Title

[R] clogit -- Conditional (fixed-effects) logistic regression

Syntax

clogit depvar [indepvars] [if] [in] [weight] , group( varname) [options]

options description ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Model * group(varname) matched group variable offset(varname) include varname in model with coefficient constrained to 1 constraints(numlist) apply specified linear constraints collinear keep collinear variables

SE/Robust vce(vcetype) vcetype may be oim, robust, cluster clustvar, opg, bootstrap, or jackknife nonest do not check that panels are nested within clusters

Reporting level(#) set confidence level; default is level(95) or report odds ratios nocnsreport do not display constraints display_options control spacing and display of omitted variables and base and empty cells

Maximization maximize_options control the maximization process; seldom used

+ coeflegend display coefficients' legend instead of coefficient table ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * group(varname) is required. + coeflegend does not appear in the dialog box. indepvars may contain factor variables; see fvvarlist. bootstrap, by, fracpoly, jackknife, mfp, mi estimate, nestreg, rolling, statsby, stepwise, and svy are allowed; see prefix. vce(bootstrap) and vce(jackknife) are not allowed with the mi estimate prefix. Weights are not allowed with the bootstrap prefix. vce(), nonest, and weights are not allowed with the svy prefix. fweights, iweights, and pweights are allowed (see weight), but they are interpreted to apply to groups as a whole, not to individual observations. See [R] clogit postestimation for features available after estimation.

Description

clogit fits what biostatisticians and epidemiologists call conditional logistic regression for matched case-control groups and what economists and other social scientists call fixed-effects logit for panel data. Computationally, these models are the same.

See [R] asclogit if you want to fit McFadden's choice model. Also see logistic estimation commands for a list of related estimation commands.

Options

+-------+ ----+ Model +------------------------------------------------------------

group(varname) is required; it specifies an identifier variable (numeric or string) for the matched groups. strata(varname) is a synonym for group().

offset(varname), constraints(numlist), collinear; see [R] estimation options.

+-----------+ ----+ SE/Robust +--------------------------------------------------------

vce(vcetype) specifies the type of standard error reported, which includes types that are derived from asymptotic theory, that are robust to some kinds of misspecification, that allow for intragroup correlation, and that use bootstrap or jackknife methods; see [R] vce_option.

nonest, available only with vce(cluster clustvar), prevents checking that matched groups are nested within clusters. It is the user's responsibility to verify that the standard errors are theoretically correct.

+-----------+ ----+ Reporting +--------------------------------------------------------

level(#); see [R] estimation options.

or reports the estimated coefficients transformed to odds ratios, i.e., exp(b) rather than b. Standard errors and confidence intervals are similarly transformed. This option affects how results are displayed, not how they are estimated. or may be specified at estimation or when replaying previously estimated results.

nocnsreport; see [R] estimation options.

display_options: noomitted, vsquish, noemptycells, baselevels, allbaselevels; see [R] estimation options.

+--------------+ ----+ Maximization +-----------------------------------------------------

maximize_options: difficult, technique(algorithm_spec), iterate(#), [no]log, trace, gradient, showstep, hessian, showtolerance, tolerance(#), ltolerance(#), nrtolerance(#), nonrtolerance, from(init_specs); see [R] maximize. These options are seldom used.

Setting the optimization type to technique(bhhh) resets the default vcetype to vce(opg).

The following option is available with clogit but is not shown in the dialog box:

coeflegend; see [R] estimation options.
