  • Interpretation of xtologit

    Hi,

    I'm new to ordinal logistic (xtologit) models but I try to interpret the effect of eye fixation time on recall from a video. I have a panel data set since I have different information from different scenes in the video. The model also contains dummies that represents the precens of different individuals and texts in the scenes. To my understanding this gives me the odds-ratios. How do I interpret the coefficients? Do I take the exponential function of the coefficients or is this only true for the dummy variables?

    I have tried to read what the sigma2_u means but I'm not sure what to aim at, the model shows me Coef.: 0.5578779 and Robust Std.Err.: 0.1566713.

    I have also calculated the rho since the output didn't reveal it (like I have seen in others' outputs). I used the following commands:
    local logistic_variance = (c(pi)^2)/3
    local rho = _b[sigma2_u:_cons]/(_b[sigma2_u:_cons] + `logistic_variance')
    display `"`rho'"'

    The results show rho=0.1449882252888197. How do I interpret this? Is it the variance?

    Have I missed something important?

    Hope that someone can help me!

    Best,
    Martina
