Hello,

I am running the program COMPAR.GEE within the package APE. My dependent
variable is binomial, while my independent variable is a multi-state
categorical variable. The output reports an estimate for each state of the
independent variable except the first one. For example, for the variable X
with 3 states, the output is:

intercept  (estimate)
X2           (estimate)
X3           (estimate)

I have two questions: 1) Why does it not give me an intercept for the first
variable and how do i get it; 2) can a get a general estimate of
correlation, like a wald's statistic for the variable?


Thank you!

Charlie
