Dear all,

I am computing a multinomial logit on two outcomes (Marriage, Dissolution vs a reference outcome Censored).
I perform an interaction between eddyad and save23. As you can see, from the equation of Marriage, the interaction for a specific level of education and save23 results signficant.
This result would be in line with my hypothesis. However, if I do the Wald test for the all interaction (see below),
the whole interaction results not signficant.

I am uncertain on whether it is the case of commenting on the signficant interaction in the equation of Marriage.
If you could give me your advice, it would be heplful.

Thank you.Best regards, Lydia
