Using marginal standardisation to estimate relative risk without dichotomising continuous outcomes

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2019
Background Although criticisms regarding the dichotomisation of continuous variables are well known, applying logit model to dichotomised outcomes is the convention because the odds ratios are easily obtained and they approximate the relative risks (RRs)

Direct and Indirect Effects in a Logit Model [PDF]

The Stata Journal: Promoting communications on statistics and Stata, 2010
In this article, I discuss a method by Erikson et al. (2005, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science 102: 9730–9733) for decomposing a total effect in a logit model into direct and indirect effects. Moreover, I extend this method in three ways. First, in the original method the variable through which the indirect effect occurs is assumed to be ...
