Predictor variable: self-employed in 1996 Model One logit = (speedcls is 2) / (speedcls is 1,3,4) Model Two logit = (speedcls is 3) / (speedcls is 1,4) Model Three logit = (speedcls is 1) / (speedcls is 4)

1. PROC LOGISTIC is modeling the probability that speedcls is 2. The name "speedcls" refers to the four categories of speed of closure shown in Chart 15.2.
2. PROC LOGISTIC is modeling the probability that speedcls is 3.
3. PROC LOGISTIC is modeling the probability that speedcls is 4.
4. Wald chi-squares are shown in parentheses. The standard errors underlying the chi-squares are only approximate; because their underlying estimates are not fully adjusted for the complexity of the survey design. The approximate adjustment involves standardizing the original survey weights so that their average is 1.0. Tests using more appropriate adjustment via bootstrap computations indicate that when the Wald chi-squares are 6.0 or greater, it can be considered that the parameter estimate is statistically significant at the 5% level or better, in the event that bootstrap standard errors were computed. When the Wald chi-squares are between 3.0 and 6.0, they can be considered to be statistically significant at a level between 5% and 15%.
5. The numerator is the rank of self-employment among the variables thatcontribute to the goodness of fit of the model, and the denominator is the number of predictor variables. The highest rank is assigned the number 1.
