Re: st: margins & marginsplot when multiple outcomes are involved

["Roger B. Newson" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

Presumably, you could use -margins- (with the -post- option), followed 
by -nlcom-, to calculate scenario-specific odds. I don't know why 
anybody should want to do this, though.
Odds are usually a means to the end of probabilities, not the other way 
round. My own packages -punaf-, -regpar-, -margprev- and -marglmean- are 
front ends for -margins- and -nlcom-, and can be used to compute 
scenario proportions and their differences and ratios after -mlogit-, 
using the -predict()- option.
Best wishes

Roger
