RE: st: estadd margins with multiple outcome models

Hi Arka,
Before you proceed further, have you checked to see whether your data meet the proportional odds assumption? If not, you may want to consider some other options:
Kjellsson, M.C., Zingmark, P.-H., Jonsson, E.N., & Karlsson, M.O. (2008). Comparison of proportional and differential odds models for mixed-effects analysis of categorical data. Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, 35(5), 483-501.
Williams, R. (2006). Generalized ordered logit/partial proportional odds models for ordinal dependent variables. The Stata Journal, 6(1), 58–82.
