Re: st: Standard error of the marginal effect or predicted probability in a conditional logit

[Arne Risa Hole <arnehole@gmail.com>]

Hi Glenn,

For the marginal effects -asclogit- followed by -estat mfx- should do
the trick, as in:

webuse choice
asclogit choice dealer, casevars(sex income) case(id) alternatives(car)
estat mfx

See also this tread
<http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2006-08/msg00899.html> for a
manual approach to doing the same thing using -clogit-.

I hope this helps.

Arne
