#87 Addind odds ratios to the Logit regression results

[Dmitry]

Dear Gretl developers

First, thank you for this very user-friendly and at the same time comprehensive software! Also it is the only free statistical program that is translated into Russian. Although it is intended for econometric, I widely use it in my basic biostatistics course for medical postgraduate students. In the medical researches we often use Logit regression and odds ratio as an outcome measure but, unfortunately for us, Gretl has no option to have odds ratios and their confidence intervals instead of (or in addition to) regression coefficients. In this respect I (and my students) would be grateful if it will be possible to implement this feature in a some future release of the program.

Sincerely,
Dmitry Maksimov

Allin, I just uploaded a function package implementing Dmitry's request
called oddsratios.

See if it's ok, or if you think we hould implement it as an option to the
internal logit command instead.

What happened to this? Is the package ok? Having this as a built-in option would be nice I think. Thanks.

I'd say that having the oddsratios package is OK for now. We could
include that in the gretl distro to make it "semi built-in".

Ok, the "oddsratios" function package is there and hopefully does what you want. If not, please report back.

Closing this.
