Thanks Kevin and Christian for your response. However, the ouput from a mlogit output is a little different. Below, I show the estimates from the two possible outcomes (0 and 2, where 1 is the omitted comparison group). I need to reference the variables (1 thru 6, and constant) separately for each output possibilities (0 and 2). In a normal matrix, I can reference the elements of the matrix by the matrix name and the row and column., I do not know how to do this in Stata. I want to be able to reference each coefficient separately, for example B[2:v1] which is .10867021 . Thanks, Tonya


(Outcome pred==1 is the comparison group)



. matrix B = e(b)



. matrix list B



B[1,14]

0: 0: 0: 0: 0: 0: 0:

v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 v6 _cons

Dear Tonya:

For this problem, I've used matrix commands to extract the particular coefficient from the matrix:


Here is an example in relation to the e(V) matrix, but its the same idea for the e(B) matrix. I recommend looking up the matrix commands to gain familiarity with how to "list" and look at the matrix and other things.

matrix varmatrix=e(V);
local alpharow=rownumb(varmatrix,"lnalpha:_cons"); /*I needed to "list" the matrix to figure out what the name of the row I was looking for was called*/
gen selnalpha=sqrt(varmatrix[`alpharow',`alpharow']) in `writeline';

Kevin.

Hello,

I am trying to use the estimates from a mlogit regression output to calculate the probabilities of three outcome using different data. When I type in "ereturn list" after the mlogit command is run, the matrix of the estimates referenced by e(b): 1x32 is listed. Is there anyway to reference the coefficients individually to perform a calculation such as this one:

Pr(y=2) = exp(XB2)/(1+exp(XB2)+exp(XB3))

where XB2 and XB3 are the set of estimates for each respected outcome times its respected value.

Thank you,
