I have a multiple logistic model testing the relationship of two variables
of interest with mortality.  Both terms remain non-significant predictors
until the interaction term is added.  The interaction term is negatively
signed, significant and influences the significance of one of the first
order terms (results below using _outreg).  No other changes are made to
the models.

I wondered if anyone could recommend references to help interpreting the
model and deciding what variables to keep.

Thanks,
Eric Hixson
