Maarten,
Below you mention that the Aitchison method provides estimates that
are not easily interpretable. I am assuming then that zoib does not
impose this restriction? I had previously assumed that the
presentation of zoib results would require presenting marginal effects
exclusively. But if that is not the case, how would one interpret the
estimated coefficients under zoib?
Thanks.
