Hello, I am running a model with four categories and want predicted
probabilities in each category. Now for this example I wont give a
counterfactual just the training data is fine but is there anyway to get a
confidence interval around the predicted probabilities in each group? I have
tried but it gives me probabilities and I have used interval="confidence",
level=.095 and then interval = "prediction". Below is a sample of my data
and my code I am trying to run (its from an open access public data set; I
tried to make the size as small as possible, sorry for its length).

 

polr.result<-polr(ordered(tvwatch)~ses+testscores,method="probit",Hess =
T,data=testdata)

polr.predict<-predict(polr.result,type="probs",interval="confidence",level=.
95)

 

structure(list(tvwatch = c(2L, 2L, 1L, 4L, 2L, 4L, 3L, 2L, 3L, 

2L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 3L, 4L, 3L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 1L,
