I ran the following command on my panel data:
Code:
xtlogit A B C D E F G logH

Due to the scientific notation of the coefficients, I am not confident in how to interpret my results. I have a preference towards using margins at the mean value of the variable, but using the code mfx, at(mean) nose does not give the needed result as this is related to a linear prediction. To me it would make more sense to use marginal effects in combination with the mean of the variable.
Is there a way to make more sense of the marginal effects and a possibility to include mean values? I've looked at many topics on the forum and watched several videos on YouTube, but so far I was unable to find a question for my answer.
Thank you in advance,
Django
