Re: st: Obtaining rrr's of margins after mlogit

[Maarten Buis <maartenlbuis@gmail.com>]

Maybe I am still not understanding your question, as the solution
appears to me to just not to use -margins- or -lincom- but directly
specify the -rrr- option in your -mlogit- command:

mlogit depvar i.edu##i.coh i.sex##i.coh, b(2) rrr

This will directly give you the ratio or relative risk ratios that you
seem to be looking for.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
