Determining relative importance in Stata using dominance analysis: domin and domme

Abstract: Dominance analysis is a common method applied to statistical models to determine the importance of independent variables. In this article, I describe two community-contributed commands, domin and domme, that can be used to dominance-analyze both independent variables and parameter estimates in Stata estimation commands. I discuss how to compute dominance statistics, provide multiple examples of each command applied to data, and outline how to inter- pret the results from each data-analytic example. I conclude with computational considerations for users applying larger models.
