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.
