Dear Martin,
I appreciate your response. But, mfx with eyex option works for linear regression�with logarithmatic value. My regression is non-linear and hence the mfx with eyex option does not work. I think, I need some non-linear estimation procedure which I have no idea and I am still exploring. Thank you for your help.
