Thanks, I am trying to see if I can adapt the example given by
Maarten, to my data...but would it be possible if I want to include
mal and bf as a response and predictor respectively, in the same logit
model and with this data set?
If yes, do I have to create new variables from mal and bf, to see
trend in mal as a function of trend in bf?
I mean variables such as mal = 1 (mal in 2009) or 2 (mal in 2011) and
bf = 1 (bf in 2009) or 2 (bf in 2011)
