st: Interpretation of gllamm

[Sanghee Park <selotus@gmail.com>]

My dependent variable has three categories without order. How can I
interpret the coefficients in the result using gllamm? The
coefficients are not to be treated as linear regressions.

I am also wondering about the meaning of the variances below the
result table. If I am able to say that which level explains more of my
model according to the variance, could you please help me figure this
out?

Thank you.
