Dear Prof. Tamas and Statalisters,

I'm with this doubt using margeff after logit model. x22 is the square of x2...

Doing:

* Margeff x2

qui logit y x1 x2 x22 lnx3, nolog
qui margeff, at(mean) dummies(x1) replace
qui su x2
local mx2 = r(mean)   // mean of x2
lincom _b[x2]+ 2*`mx2'*_b[x22]

I have this result:

. lincom _b[x2]+ 2*`mx2'*_b[x22]

 ( 1)  x2 + 82.66667 x22 = 0

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


But doing this:

qui logit y x1 x2 x22 lnx3, nolog
qui prvalue
local pi=r(p1)
qui sum x2
local m1=r(mean)
di (`pi'*(1-`pi'))*(_b[x2]+(2*`m1'*_b[x22]))

I have

. di (`pi'*(1-`pi'))*(_b[x2]+(2*`m1'*_b[x22]))
.0033248

For lnx3, the values are the same, it�s ok!

nlcom _b[lnx3]*(1/`m2')

       _nl_1:  _b[lnx3]*(1/11.83333333333333)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

. di (`pi'*(1-`pi'))*(_b[lnx3]*(1/`m2'))
.11959073


Could you help me again?

Thanks!!
