mlogit

[nokya oppong]

hello. i'm new to stata and i'm trying to do a multinomial logit model and save the do file please how do i go about it

[Maarten Buis]

How far did you get? What is the exact problem?

[nokya oppong]

i have a dataset. my first task is to estimate what explains the choice of insurance. the dataset is in clusters of 5, 10,15,20,30,40,50.
for starters i have opened a do file editor. i have typed some commands like "clear all" and "set more off" even though i don't understand. i guess the next step is to type ''mlogit'' dependent variable, independent variable.

Ok, so you don't know how to use Stata. That is too much to teach you in a post. You can look here for several resources: http://www.stata.com/links/resources...earning-stata/

Dear all,

I have a problem with Multinomial Logit model.

After mlogit command, I got coefficients and p-value also. (1)
And then after margins command with dydx option, I got dy/dx and p-value. (2)

But p-value between (1) & (2) is different. I mean that some variables seems to be significant at 1% in terms of (1) but not significant at 10% in terms of (2).
Which p-value should I consider?

please, start a new thread. Thanks.
Please, as per FAQ, post what you typed and what Stata gave you back. Thanks.
