I can see in the documentation on https://support.sas.com/kb/63/038.html that the Margins Macro does not work for zero-inflated models. Grateful for any advice on alternative approaches for ZIP models!

LIMITATIONS: The Margins macro can be used only with a subset of the models available in PROC GENMOD since that procedure is used to fit the specified model. It cannot be used with multinomial or zero-inflated models available in GENMOD...
