Subject:      Understanding logistic output - OR of 9564
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Dear list,

I got the following output from a multiple logistic regression (SPSS11.0)and I am not sure how to explain the results. Two variables were entered (stepwise) into the equation, yet one of the variables has a significance level of .711 with an Exp(B) of 9564 and a 95% CI of .00  to 1.02E+25. In addition, there is a variable which is not included but which has a significance of .004 (it is included in the list of variables not in the equation). Could multicollinearity explain why this is happening.  TIA
