Hi. We are using a restricted national data set (so can't provide results), only code. We are using Stata 14.1
Below are our variables
issyn- dichotomous iss yes or iss no (0)
sturace- black=3, white=8
x2sesq5- categorical variable of a continuous SES variable into quintiles
stusexmale- male=1, female =0
sped- special ed=1, no special ed=0
x2locale- 1=city, 2=suburb, 3=town 4=rural
a1blackstu- percentage black student enrollment
a2freelunch- percentage of students on free and reduced lunch
We would like to plot a subset of the margins so that White students in the 3rd quintile and black students in quintiles 1 through 5 are plotted. Every time we try to plot just these margins, all of the quintiles of White students are plotted. Thus the graph shows 10 lines, versus the 6 lines we have indicated (black quintile 1, black quintile 2, black quintile 3, black quintile 4, black quintile 5, white quintile 3).
We have consulted Stata Manual 13 , 11.4.3.4 Selecting levels and used the following codes:
We also tried
and
Is there something else we can try or something that we have missed?
Please excuse any unintentional breach in Statalist protocol.
Thank you.
