Calculating ICC
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=22544&th=10884#msg_22544
I am working with Benin IR data to explore the factors associated with educational achievement (v106). My supervisor suggested that I check ICC value first since the data are clustered, and then choose between -logit- and -melogit- depending on whether the ICC is above the threshold of 0.15. Now it seems ICC can be calculated both before:
------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, these two methods produce dissimilar results. Despite the necessity of using -melogit- being obvious, I'd like to know the right course of action to follow: before/after/both?
Thank you.

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
I really don't know why the two procedures give you such different estimates, but since you will be proceeding with melogit, I recommend that you use the ICC estimate coming from melogit rather than from loneway.
