I wish to impose an equality constraint on the slopes for five predictor variables (and leave one unconstrained) in a univariate logistic regression model. I have tried the following syntax without success - the model runs but the estimates are not equal. When I remove the constraints the df's and LL are the same. Hope you can help,
Thanks

Equality constraints are not available for TYPE=LOGISTIC; You can obtain logistic regression with equality constraints by removing TYPE=LOGISTIC; and ESTIMATOR=MLM; from the ANALYSIS command and adding ESTIMATOR = MLR;

Many thanks Linda, that works perfectly.
