Here is an example I generated from data that comes with my MIT Press book:

. glm prate mrate c.mrate#c.mrate age c.age#c.age ltotemp i.sole,
fam(bin) link(logit) robust
note: prate has noninteger values

Iteration 0:   log pseudolikelihood = -1315.4966
Iteration 1:   log pseudolikelihood = -1288.1302
Iteration 2:   log pseudolikelihood = -1287.6149
Iteration 3:   log pseudolikelihood = -1287.6145
Iteration 4:   log pseudolikelihood = -1287.6145

Note: dy/dx for factor levels is the discrete change from the base level.

The AME for mrate means that if mrate (the match rate) increases by
.10 (ten cents on the dollar) then, on average, the prate
(participation rate) increases by about .016, or 1.6 percentage
points.
