I have a feeling -spostado- can do this (net from
http://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/stata/). If it does, it might do a lot
of calculations something like this for every observation:
sysuse auto, clear
mlogit rep78 wei, baseout(5)
predict p1-p5
loc s "1"
forv i=1/4 {
loc s="`s' +exp([`i']_b[wei]*2930+[`i']_b[_cons])"
}
nlcom 1/(`s')
di "LB: " el(r(b),1,1)-1.96*sqrt(el(r(V),1,1))
di "UB: " el(r(b),1,1)+1.96*sqrt(el(r(V),1,1))
li wei p5 in 1

I would like to put confidence intervals around these probabilities, but I am not sure how to do it. I can obtain confidence intervals for the linear prediction (using the -stdp- option with -predict-), but I am not sure how to incorporate this information into the equations which relate the linear prediction to the probability:
