Otherwise, {cmd: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. {title:Description} {pstd} {cmd:frm_pe} calculates partial effects for fractional regression models estimated via {help frm:frm}. {cmd: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. {title:Options} {phang} {opt ape(varlist)} specifies that average partial effects are to be computed for the variables in {it:varlist}. {phang} {opt cpe(varlist)} specifies that conditional partial effects are to be computed for the variables in {it:varlist}. All variables are evaluated at their mean values except if specified otherwise in {cmd:at(}{it:atspec}{cmd:)}. {phang} {opt at(atspec)} indicates the specific values at which some of the explanatory variables are to be evaluated. {title:Examples} {pstd}Setup - data used in Ramalho, Ramalho and Henriques (2010){p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. use http://evunix.uevora.pt/~jsr/stata/JPA-2010.dta}{p_end} {pstd}Computing average partial effects for a logit fractional regression model{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm SCORE LANDLORD LIVESTOCK CROP SIZE SUBSIDIES ALTO CENTRAL BAIXO}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm_pe, ape(LANDLORD LIVESTOCK CROP SIZE SUBSIDIES ALTO CENTRAL BAIXO)}{p_end} {pstd}Computing average partial effects for a binary logit + fractional probit two-part model, with ALTO=1{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm SCORE LANDLORD LIVESTOCK CROP SIZE SUBSIDIES ALTO CENTRAL BAIXO, m(2Pbin) inf(1)}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. estimates store a1}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm SCORE LANDLORD LIVESTOCK CROP SIZE SUBSIDIES ALTO CENTRAL BAIXO, m(2Pfrac) linkf(probit) inf(1)}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. estimates store a2}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm_pe a1 a2, ape(LANDLORD LIVESTOCK CROP SIZE SUBSIDIES ALTO CENTRAL BAIXO) at(ALTO=1)}{p_end} {pstd}Computing conditional partial effects for LIVESTOCK in the logit component of a two-part fractional regression model, with all explanatory variables evaluated at their mean values except the dummies ALTO=1, CENTRAL=0 and BAIXO=0{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm SCORE LANDLORD LIVESTOCK CROP SIZE SUBSIDIES ALTO CENTRAL BAIXO, m(2Pfrac) inf(1)}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm_pe, cpe(LIVESTOCK) at(ALTO=1 CENTRAL=0 BAIXO=0)}{p_end} {title:Saved results} {pstd} For one-part models and the individual components of two-part models, {cmd:frm_pe} saves in {cmd:r()} the same results as {help margins:margins}.
