st: RE: RE: predicted probabilities of interaction term

["Valle, Giuseppina" <gv08d@my.fsu.edu>]

Thank you for your help -- I was unaware that I needed to use the subpop command when looking at the gender differences with the svy command. In terms of the postestimation commands, I have not located any syntax available that will produced predicted probabilities of the interaction terms with a mlogit. I have 4 values for "race" and 3 values for "relig." I assume that using prtab along with specified values of these two variables would not produce the estimates I am looking for, as that is the only command I have used for predicted probabilities.

Hi Giuseppina,

One suggestion that I have would be to use the -subpop()- option of the
-svy:- prefix.  This is something that surfaces on the Statalist regularly,
although it may not be an issue in your specific case.  Either way, the help
file for -svy- includes the following line:

"Warning:  Using if or in restrictions will often not produce correct
variance estimates for
      subpopulations.  To compute estimates for subpopulations, use the
subpop() option."

With regards to your other question, I would look at -help mlogit
postestimation- to get an idea of what is already available in Stata to
calculate the predicted probabilities of the outcome after a multinomial
logit model.

HTH,
Billy

Hello,
I was wondering how to run predicted probabilities for a multinomial
regression with an interaction term.

Here is the syntax I am using:

svy: mlogit timing pledge sexed i.race i.relig i.race#i.relig ///
        wave4age stepfam singlemo singleda other HSdeg somecoll ///
        colldeg misseduc lowmidinc highmidinc highinc missinc ///
        midwest south northeast if gender==0,  ///
        rrr baseoutcome(2) nolog

I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
