gsem mlogit margins

[zakaria]

Hi All,
I am using gsem for multilevel mlogit. I want to use margins command afterwards. I am using the option predict(mu fixedonly) and it is working but I am unable to specify a particular outcome so it gives me a default outcome which has smallest value in the codes of outcomes. e.g., my command line reads following

margins, predict(mu fixedonly) at( dishus=(0 1) src=3 oneson=1 disoth=1 groupmem=1 tv=1 mediafp=1 newwealth=1 wwork=1) atmeans

but I am unable to specify the outcome of my own choice. What is the way to specify the outcome of our choice.

Thanks

zak

dear zak,

you can pass the desired outcome to margin in the predict option. In your case this would probably be something like this:

margins, predict(mu fixedonly outcome(DEPVAR 2)) at( dishus=(0 1) src=3 oneson=1 disoth=1 groupmem=1 tv=1 mediafp=1 newwealth=1 wwork=1) atmeans

see -help gsem_predict- for more details.

best

following specification works. Thanks

margins, predict(fixedonly outcome(2.chosen))
