Hello,

I am trying to account for time-at-risk ("risktime") as an offset variable in a logistic regression model.  As far as I understand, it should not matter whether I use the option "exposure(risktime)" or "offset(lnrisktime)", where lnrisktime = ln(risktime), in the glm.  However, I get two different results depending on how I specify the option.  Is this a glitch that anyone else has come across?  This is the basic format of the 2 codes:

glm y x1 x2 x3 , fam(binom) link(logit) offset(lnrisktime)

OR

glm y x1 x2 x3 , fam(binom) link(logit) exposure(risktime)

Thanks for your help,
-Kathryn
