Hi Statlist,
I have performed a two level random intercept logit model; the xtlogit procedure in STATA (12.0), where individuals are nested within countries. The provided likelihood ratio test indicate that the rho is statistically significant, supporting the use of a multilevel model. However the log of variance, Insig2u in the output, is not significant as the confidence interval includes zero. I need help to interpret these results. In addition I need a general advice on what to report in a table; the log of variance or standard deviation of random intercept (sigma_u in the output)?
Thank you!
Regards,
T. Saltkjel
