glm: calculating average marginal effects for dummies
...as hoping that perhaps someone knowledgable on this list could offer some help. I have estimated a binary logistic regression model and would like to calculate average marginal effects for certain predictors of interest. The average marginal effect for a continuous variable cont has been given as AME_cont = 1/n * SUM(beta_{cont} * prob(Y)* 1-prob(Y)) This seems easy enough to calculate with R. However, the predictors I'm interested in are dummy variables, not continuous, and the following formula has been suggested for estimating the average marginal effect for dummies: AME_dummy = 1/n*SUM(pr...
