Re: st: main effect OR when interaction present - xtlogit-

[Ricardo Ovaldia <ovaldia@yahoo.com>]

Thank you Maarten. That was very helpful.
So I gather that the best way to show these results is to estimate the OR and 95%CI for specific points in time. Is there a way to do this easily in Stata?

Thank you again,
Ricardo
