Re: st: Output format after 'margins'

["Roger B. Newson" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

I personally use the -parmest- package, downloadable from SSC, to save 
results from -margins- in an output dataset (or resultsset) with 1 
observation per estimated parameter and data on parameter names, 
estimates, confidence limits, P-values and other parameter attributes. 
To use -parmest- after -margins-, use the options

bmat(r(b)) vmat(r(V))

to extract parameter estimates and variances from the saved results from 
-margins-. The output dataset can be listed using the -list()- option, 
saved to memory (overwriting the pre-existing dataset) using the 
-norestore- option, or saved to a disk file using the -saving()- option. 
The on-line documentation for -parmest- contains hypertext references 
for further reading about the use of -parmest-.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Roger
