Hello list,

I'm doing a SNP analysis using the xi:logistic function.
To exclude possible confounder, I'm adjusting my calculations for different variables, e.g. sex and ethnics.
My study population consists of 4 different ethnicities, coded as 1 2 3 4. sex is coded 1 2. SNPs are coded 1 2 3 (e.g. CC/CT/TT).
I don't understand the following:

When I calculate:

xi:logistic i.snp sex ethnics

i get different results to

xi:logistic i.snp sex i.ethnics

Why is that, and what is the correct way to adjust for ethnics, using i.ethnics or just ethnics?

Thank you,

 Kristina
