Alberta has asked me privately before, which in this case is correct
as it involves one of my programs and my dissertation. I was busy at
the time and I forgot. Sorry about that.

Below is an example:

*---------------- begin example -------------------
use http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/g/gss.dta, clear
seqlogit degree sibs south country suburb city ///
         coh if black == 0, or                 ///
         tree(0:1 2 3 4, 1:2 3 4, 2 : 3 4 , 3 : 4)     ///
         ofinterest(paeduc) over(coh)          ///
         levels(0=9, 1=12, 2=14, 3=16, 4=18)

preserve

keep if e(sample)
		
replace sibs = 1
replace south = 0 // i.e. north
replace country = 0
replace suburb = 0
replace city = 0 // i.e. town

sum paeduc, meanonly
replace paeduc = r(mean)
replace _paeduc_X_coh = paeduc*coh

bys coh : keep if _n == 1
		
predict w* , trweight
forvalues i = 1/4 {
	gen contr`i' = w`i'*([#`i']_b[paeduc]+ [#`i']_b[ _paeduc_X_coh]*coh)
}		

gen contr0 = 0
replace contr2 = contr1 + contr2
replace contr3 = contr2 + contr3
replace contr4 = contr3 + contr4

twoway rarea contr0 contr1 coh || ///
