Re: st: Interpreting 3 way dummy interaction with margins

[Colleen Nugent <cnugent@sociology.rutgers.edu>]

Thanks for the example.  It's interesting that they are different in my case.  I suspect it has something to do with the -over- option you used.  -over- doesn't work in my models, so the difference must be because I am estimating the margins incorrectly.  

I get the error "option over() not allowed r(198)."  I am assuming this is because -over- treats each group as its own subpopulation, but I am already specifying a subpopulation that is my analytic subsample using svy, subpop().  

Instead of -over- I have tried "margins varA#varB, [options]" and "margins varA, at(varB=(1 2 3)) [other options]" and each gives slightly different results, neither of which match the results obtained by "ibn.varA##ibn.varB".  

Sorry to be so pesky to keep pushing this question of what else I should use besides -over-, but it's clear that the two attempts I just mentioned are incorrect.
Thanks for your help.
