Dear Statalist Team,
I have an ordered probit regression, where the outcome variable contains 4 possible outcomes. I have several explanatory variables (all of them are dummies or discrete except ln_hhincome which is continuous)
I have been reading on Statalist forum that the suitable command for marginal effects is:
margins, dydx(*) predict(outcome(1))
I would like to make sure that this is indeed true, as I have mostly dummy/discrete variables and got a bit confused when reading in the Forum.
Added below is the code and the output for my ordered probit regression:
oprobit life_satisfaction i.population i.female ln_hhincome i.age i.family_size i.pp_room i.employment i.religiosity i.health_status disability i.education i.marital_status i.hebrew_fluency i.volunteering i.region
Iteration 0: log likelihood = -5793.5337
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -5114.6857
Iteration 2: log likelihood = -5109.7377
Iteration 3: log likelihood = -5109.7363
Iteration 4: log likelihood = -5109.7363
Ordered probit regression Number of obs = 5,757
LR chi2(37) = 1367.59
Prob > chi2 = 0.0000
Log likelihood = -5109.7363 Pseudo R2 = 0.1180
