Thanks in advance for any guidance you may give. I would like to estimate the ratio (95%CI) of two (2) predicted probabilities that were computed using postestimation margins after logistic regression. I thought I could use nlcom but I`m coming stuck.
Code:
logit dm i.sex margins sex, post
PHP Code:
Logistic regression                                     Number of obs =  4,830
