Computing interaction effects and standard errors in logit and probit models

چکیده
Abstract. This paper explains why computing the marginal effect of a change in two variables is more complicated in nonlinear models than in linear models. The command inteff computes the correct marginal effect of a change in two interacted variables for a logit or probit model, as well as the correct standard errors. The inteff command graphs the interaction effect and saves the results to allow further investigation.

Probit and nested logit models based on fuzzy measure
Inspired by the interactive discrete choice logit models [Aggarwal, 2019], this paper presents the advanced families of discrete choice models, such as nested logit, mixed logit, and probit models to consider the interaction among the attributes. Besides the DM's attitudinal character is also taken into consideration in the computation of choice probabilities. The proposed choice models make us...
متن کاملI nteraction terms in logit and probit models
The magnitude of the interaction effect in nonlinear models does not equal the marginal effect of the interaction term, can be of opposite sign, and its statistical significance is not calculated by standard software. We present the correct way to estimate the magnitude and standard errors of the interaction effect in nonlinear models. 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملComputing adjusted risk ratios and risk differences in Stata
This paper explains how to calculate adjusted risk ratios and risk differences when reporting results from logit, probit, and related nonlinear models. Building on Stata’s margins command, we create a new post-estimation command adjrr that calculates adjusted risk ratios (ARR) and adjusted risk differences (ARD) after running logit or probit models with either binary, multinomial, or ordered ou...
متن کاملAn Extension of the Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition Technique to Logit and Probit Models
The Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique is widely used to identify and quantify the separate contributions of group differences in measurable characteristics, such as education, experience, marital status, and geographical differences to racial and gender gaps in outcomes. The technique cannot be used directly, however, if the outcome is binary and the coefficients are from a logit or probit...
متن کاملThe behaviour of the maximum likelihood estimator of limited dependent variable models in the presence of fixed effects
The nonlinear fixed-effects model has two shortcomings, one practical and one methodological. The practical obstacle relates to the difficulty of computing the MLE of the coefficients of non-linear models with possibly thousands of dummy variable coefficients. In fact, in many models of interest to practitioners, computing the MLE of the parameters of fixed effects model is feasible even in pan...
