Title

frm_pe -- Partial effects for one-part and two-part fractional regression models

Syntax

frm_pe anything [, options]

options Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ape(varlist) estimate average partial effects of variables in varlist cpe(varlist) estimate conditional partial effects of variables in varlist at(atspec) estimate partial effects at specified values of covariates -------------------------------------------------------------------------

where anything, if provided, is the name or, for two-part models, names under which estimation results were saved via estimates store. Otherwise, frm_pe is applied to the last estimation results, even if these were not already stored. In the case of two-part models the first name should index the binary model and the second the fractional model.

Description

frm_pe calculates partial effects for fractional regression models estimated via frm. frm_pe may be used to compute average or conditional partial effects for: (i) one-part fractional regression models; (ii) the binary component of two-part fractional regression models; (iii) the fractional component of two-part fractional regression models; and (iv) two-part fractional regression models. For two-part models only the value of the partial effects is computed, while in the other cases standard errors and confidence intervals calculated using the delta method are also provided. See Ramalho, Ramalho and Murteira (2011) for details on the computation of partial effects in the fractional regression framework.

Options

ape(varlist) specifies that average partial effects are to be computed for the variables in varlist.

cpe(varlist) specifies that conditional partial effects are to be computed for the variables in varlist. All variables are evaluated at their mean values except if specified otherwise in at(atspec).

at(atspec) indicates the specific values at which some of the explanatory variables are to be evaluated.

Saved results

For one-part models and the individual components of two-part models, frm_pe saves in r() the same results as margins. For two part-models, no results are saved.
