Comparing Coefficients of Nested Nonlinear Probability Models
TL;DR: The KHB method as mentioned in this paper is a general decomposition method that is unaffected by the rescaling or attenuation bias that arises in cross-model comparisons in nonlinear models and can be extended to other models in the generalized linear model family.
