Abstract: We review some not well known results about marginal log-linear models, derive some new ones and show how they might be relevant in mediation analysis within logistic regression. In particular, we elaborate on the relation between interaction parameters defined within different marginal distributions and describe an algorithm for estimating the sane interaction parameters within different marginals.
