What is intercept in this contex?

[Linda Kash]

Hi guys.
there is one thing i dont understand in my esttab table.

As you see in the table i have a variable, called constant. What is this telling me?

Thanks.

Linda:
_cons=intercept.
If you are not aware of its meaning, please consult any decent textbook on econometrics or regression.

It is the predicted value when all of the explanatory values are zero. It is unclear what your models are, logit perhaps? If that is the case it would be the conditional expectation of the log-odds when Xbeta=0 (where the constant term is not included in X).

Actually it is a logistic regression.

Is you answer also for logit regression. I mean it is clera that _cons is the same as intercept. But does it have same meaning in logit regression?

Thank you so much, however if you watch the table. This table is after i have marginalised and after the all tests. This is the last table. Your link is showing what logit or odd is, not the intercept

see the paragraph Logistic regression with no predictor variables, same source.
