Hello,

I am using the fairlie STATA module for decomposition (https://ideas.repec.org/c/boc/bocode/s456727.html) to analyze the following model:

Independent variables: aa001, aa004, ba016, ea104, eb001, eb002, ec003
Dependent variable: eh041 (binary: 0, 1)
Group variable: groupvar (binary: 0, 1)

However, I am unable to locate any information, either on STATAList.org or elsewhere, that helps me to interpret these results correctly. Also the publications by Fairlie didn't help me forward.

Question: Can anyone please help me to get into the right direction to interpret the results below?

Your response is highly appreciated!


The fairlie module is run using the following command:

Code:
fairlie eh041 aa001 aa004 ba016 ea104 eb001 eb002 ec023, by(groupvar)
This produces the following output:

Code:
Iteration 0:   log likelihood = -877.38553
Iteration 1:   log likelihood = -862.66744
Iteration 2:   log likelihood = -862.24213
Iteration 3:   log likelihood = -862.24169
