Thanks to Kit Baum a new update of the -ldecomp- package is now
available from SSC. This update fixed a bug, which resulted into
too much intermediate output.
-ldecomp- decomposes within a logistic regression the total effect
an explanatory variable into a direct effect and an indirect effect
trhough an intervening variable. For example, children from higher
social classes are more likely to enter college, and part of this
total effect of class can be explained by an indirect effect
through academic performance in high school, as high class students
tend to do better in high school than low class students and those
students that do better in high school are more likely to enter
college.
