Using Mtable

[Piku Sarkhel]

Hello,

I want to generate predicted probabilities after running the multinomial logit using mtable command. I want the predicted probabilities across the variable AGE. I find that the general syntax is mtable, atmeans at(AGE=x). However since i want this predicted probability for all values of AGE is there a way to do it at one go ?That is instead writing the command again and again for different values of AGE can I generate it with a single command?

Please help!

You should say where mtable comes from. I assume it is part of Long and Freese's spost13 package. If not, please say where you really got it.

Try something like

mtable, atmeans at(age = (20(1)74))

I doubt that you really want/need it for every possible value of age, so you might prefer

mtable, atmeans at(age = (20(10)74))

Hi Richard,

Thanks ! Yes it comes from Freese and Long SPost 13. I, in fact, found a way. It goes like this mtable, atmeans by(AGE)
