Dear users,

This question might sound simple or silly.

I have been trying to generate marginal effects after a logit regression with interactions.  Becasue there are several interactions, I cannot use the -inteff- command.

I know that I can use the -predictnl- command but I have problems here in specifying the logistic function.

Below is an example of the case for a probit model with interaction:

probit foreign trunk mpg  d  /*note that d is a dummy*/
qui sum  trunk
sca _tt=r(mean)
qui sum  mpg
sca mg=r(mean)

local xb1 (_b[_cons]+ _b[trunk]*_tt + _b[mpg]*mg + _b[d]*1)
local xb0 (_b[_cons]+ _b[trunk]*_tt + _b[mpg]*mg + _b[d]*0)

predictnl dfdd=normal(`xb1')-normal(`xb0') in 1, se(serr)
list dfdd serr  in 1

My question is: what density function do I specify for the logistic function if I use a logit instead of a probit?

Any suggestion will be welcomed.

Regards

Jon
