Re: st: Interpreting 3 way dummy interaction with margins

I'd like to chime in to this conversation. My apologies if this is a "dumb" question: Maarten, if your tip for leaving out the reference categories is used with logistic regression and exponentiated coefficients, how is this different than the "predicted odds" generated with the margins command and "expression(exp(xb()))"?
Actually, I know that it is different because I ran it, but I don't know why it should be different. In my case the odds without the ref cat are all under 1.00 for the groupings on my interaction variables, but with the predicted odds using margins, they are all over 1.00. So I guess I'm not understanding something here about what margins does.
Thanks,
Colleen
