Jose Maria asked:

"would it be possible to use *predict pr, pr* instead of *margins*?

If there are only a few discrete covariates, then you can graph or table
all the predicted probabilities. Otherwise -margins- is preferable, I think,
especially when followed -marginsplot-. My own strategy, when the choice is mine, is
to fit -svy: logistic-,This will (almost) always converge with no
difficulties. Then I look at -marginsplot- of predicted probabilities; I
add two-factor interactions and see what happens to the plot

For most studies, I prefer to describe effects in terms of linear
differences in predicted probabilities, even if the underlying model is
-logistic- with no or few interactions.

Steve was very kind.
Thank you.

Now, maybe following the thread: for the interpretation of risks after *svy logistic*, would it be possible to use *predict pr, pr* instead of *margins*?
