Herewith possibly a silly question. Consider say a probit with a series of variables representing age ranges, with obviously a default age range, not included in the estimation. How is say margeff calculated for say AGE3544? Presumably without any consideration of the fact that an individual can only occupy one age range.
The calculation can be undertaken manually, so that when AGE3544 is set to 1, the others are all zero, but what about when AGE3544 is set to zero? Obviously the default age range kicks in.
Is that the desirable calculation??
Or have I got it all wrong?
Thanks.
Kind regards
