To David Hoaglin:
Thanks for your help again, David.
How might I best offer a more accurate interpretation of the output?
Is the answer both in:
a) phrasing it better? How would you phrase it in this instance?
b) conducting more analyses?
If I calculate Average Marginal Effects, then I can state that covariates are as observed in the data; and I can also point out that AME is limited in offering just a single number for something that is likely to vary at different levels of other specific covariates.
Therefore I will also be looking for Marginal Effects at Representative Values (Williams' MER) in order to find out more about this.
Many thanks
Sandra
