There is a faq on this somewhere. In order to test differences in
coefficients across different groups (if done jointly for all coefficients
it is often called a Wald Test) you need to interact your sex variable
(coded 0/1) with all of your independent variables and then run the model
(logistic hyperlip rf1 rf1*sex rf2 rf2*sex etc). The coef on rf1*sex will
then tell you if there is a difference in the effect of rf1 on hyperlip
between genders, what it is, and whether this is significant.

Subject: st: Testing coefficients across equations
Dear Statalist,
I am trying to test the equality of coefficients across two equations in
the following setting. I am running two logistic regressions (males and
females) on the presence of hyperlipidemia using identical risk factors
in each. (i.e., "by sex: logistic hyperlip rf1 rf2 rf3") I want to test
whether the coefficients as a whole are different between males and
females, and also whether specific ones are.
I believe the -test- command is the way to do this, and, in fact, there
is a very good example for this type of thing in the -test- helpfile
using -mlogit-. However, in the mlogit case, it appears that the
equations are automatically named 0,1,2,etc. (based on the number of
cases). Could anyone tell me the syntax for naming an equation and also
how to access an estimate by equation name (i.e., "display _b[rf1]" for
equation 1,2,3,etc.)?
Regards,
AJ Bostian
