Christine: 1. Variables can get dropped from any type of regression because of collinearity. However in logistic regression, they can also get dropped if a category gives perfect prediction, as you found. 2. To measure collinearity, you used e(r2) , the overall multiple R-square after -svy: reg-. However R-square says nothing about collinearity. It quantifies association of the outcome with all the predictors. The r-squares used in the definitions of VIF come from the regressions of each predictor on the others. 3. The weights are the only part of the survey design that enter the estimation of the VIF. Therefore, to test for collinearity with survey data, run (non-survey) -regress- with a [pw] option; then use -estat vif-. ********************************** sysuse auto, clear reg mpg weight turn price [pw=length] estat vif ********************************* Steve Steven J.

Multicollinearity concerns the correlations of predictors with each other. This message, refers to the association of outcome and one predictor. Tabulating HVH against HOSP_TEACH should show you the problem. Steve Steven J.
