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

Are relative odds the same thing as odds ratio? Can you use the
probabilities in the margin0, margin1, and margin2 variables from my
example to calculate the odds?
Perhaps someone with actual experience using -mlogit- and odds can help out.

Thank you so much, Scott.
Meanwhile I found a route using matrices, but your solution far more
elegant and fast.
One more question though: Is there a way is this context to use
relative odds rather than probabilities in the response?
Best,
Natalia
