>Dear All,

>I have a question on the interpretation of marginal effects calculated in

>For example
>
>I have a marginal effect of 0.429 - what does this mean?
>Does this mean that for a 1 unit change in the independent variable, the
>probability of the dependent variable taking a value of 1 increases by
>42.9%? If so, I am unsure of what this 1 unit change is because some of my
>independent variables are scaled and less than 1.

>I would be greatful for any pointers
