Works for me in both cases - whether -i.race- or -race- is specified...

Betreff: st: -margins- vs -adjust-
After getting an error with -adjust-, I discovered that it
had been deprecated in version 11. The online help says:
"adjust has been superseded by margins. margins can do everything
that adjust did and more."
However, as far as I can tell, this is not the case. I could use
-adjust- with models that did not include factor variables; however,
with -margins- there seems to be no option to find marginal effects
for independent variables that are not i.vars.
Is this true? Or is there a way to fool -margins- into working with
non-factor variables? Apologies if this has come up before, I could
not find anything on the list or FAQ.
If it is true, this is a complete nusiance. I do not normally
include dichotomous variables as factor variables, and am not
interested in starting now. Moreover, I have estimation results
from -xtmelogit- models that ran for days; am I going to have
to re-estimate with -i.female- instead of -female- to get marginal
effects? (-adjust- gives errors). That, or calculate my own
marginal effects from scratch.
cheers,
Jeph
