Marginal Effects
MEMs, AMEs, & MERs
The results tell us that, if you had two otherwiseaverage individuals, one white, one black, the
blacks probability of having diabetes would be
2.9 percent higher.
And what do we mean by average? With MEMs,
average is defined as having the mean value for
the other independent variables in the model, i.e.
47.57 years old, 10.5 percent black, and 52.5
percent female.
