As instructed in Cameron and Trivedi ( Microeconometrics using Stata),
I do the following:
mfx, predict (outcome(1))
This gives me the marginal effect of the explanatory variables on the
probability of test_math_score =1
But how do I do the same thing using the margins command?
If all you want are the marginal effects at the means, it is easier
to use the user-written commands -margeff- or -mfx2-, as they will
get you the marginal effects for each outcome with only one command.
-margins- offers several additional features (e.g. you can get
average marginal effects) that may make it worth the hassle of doing
a separate command for each outcome.
