Visualizing effect modifications

Nordic and Baltic Stata Users' Group Meeting 2019 from Stata Users Group

Abstract: margins and marginsplot are excellent Stata commands for visualizing effects. However, when the functions modeled for margins are not simple polynomials, but have to be modeled using cubic splines, there is a need for an alternative. I present an easy-to-use prefix command, emc, for visualizing the difference between two curves. One example could be the difference in weight or height development between boys and girls dependent of age. The emc command is about to be presented in the Stata Journal, but this presentation is quite different based on another example.
