Hi,

I don't understand why I get different estimates (ignoring standard errors) from the following two models:

1. Multivariate polytomous logistic regression, with outcome categories 0, 1 and 2 (with ", basecategory(0)")
2. Two separate multivariate (same covariates) "regular" logistic regression models:
(i) with ", if outcome~=2"
(ii) with ", if outcome~=1"

The "coeff" estimates are very different (eg. -1.52 vs. -1.06)

For the univariate case, I get the same estimates from 1 and 2, but they start to "diverge" as soon as I add an additional covariate.

Thanks,

Roger Milne.
