Re: st: Error w/ "inteff" command

Could anyone help me understand what I might be doing wrong? I am
running the following example using stata 9, 10 or 12:

webuse lbw2
gen agerace=age*race
probit  low age race agerace
inteff low age race agerace


What you are doing wrong is treating race, which is categorical with values 1,2,3, as if it was a dummy. -inteff- from SJ will handle a c-c interaction, and a c-i interaction, but not a set of interactions, which is what you need here. As you have Stata 12, you should have no problem doing it all with built-in commands:

webuse lbw2, clear
probit  low c.age##i.race
margins, dydx(_all)
margins, dydx(age) over(race)
