showopts / ‑showopts | [Do / do not] display the starting coefficient values and estimation options in the estimation output. |
preiter=arg (default=0) | Number of IRLS pre-iterations to refine starting values (only available for non-IRLS estimation). |
cov=arg | Covariance method: “ordinary” (default method based on inverse of the estimated information matrix), “huber” or “white” (Huber-White sandwich method), “glm” (GLM method). |
