Subject | st: plot interaction with natural log transformed variable in untransformed units with marginsplot |
Date | Wed, 6 Jun 2012 15:03:16 -0500 |
I've estimated a regression model containing a natural log transformed continuous variable interacted with a dummy variable. After using -margins- and -marginsplot- I can plot the interaction of the log transformed variable for the categories of the dummy variable. However, I can't figure out how to use the -margins-, -marginsplot- combination to show me the continuous variable in untransformed units on the x-axis, an easier way to see what's going on in the interaction than plotting on the natural log scale. The manual descriptions for the commands caution that only variables used in the preceding estimation command can be used with the margins suite. Any suggestions for using the margins commands or other method that would also produce interaction plots with two natural log transformed continuous variables would be helpful.
