st: Capability of the margins command

[Kai Huang <demonsecret@hotmail.com.hk>]

Dear all,

The help file of --margins-- command has the following description:

    "The margins command estimates margins of responses for specified values of covariates and presents the results as a table.

    Capabilities include estimated marginal means, least-squares means, average and conditional marginal and partial effects (which may be reported as derivatives or as elasticities),
    average and conditional adjusted predictions, and predictive margins."

I would like to ask whether --margins-- is capable of estimating the marginal effects of the estimates generated from --stcox--. I have tried and found that the magnitude of the results are very different from those generated in hazard ratios from --stcox--.


Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,
Kai Huang
