Re: st: moderated mediation logistic outcome

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

Sorry, no idea on your main question. Just a comment that

        generate switch    = .
        replace  switch = 0 if (usepurchase <= 1)
        replace  switch = 1 if (usepurchase >= 2)
        rename switch y  /* dependent variable   */

can be rewritten as one line

       gen y = usepurchase >= 2 if usepurchase < .
