Add Marginal Observations
Given a data frame and the names of variable, doubles the
data frame for each variable with a new category
"All" by default, or by the value of label.
A new variable .marginal. is added to the resulting data frame,
with value "" if the observation is an original one, and with
value equal to the names of the variable being marginalized (separated
by commas) otherwise. If there is another stratification variable
besides the one in ..., and that variable is nested inside the
variable in ..., specify nested=variable name to have the value
of that variable set fo label whenever marginal observations are
created for .... See the state-city example below.
