  • get 1) marginal effects and 2) model fit indices of Tobit models in Structure equation model (SEM) framwork

    Hello all,

    I am using the two Tobit models in the structural equation model (SEM) framework as below,

    the code is
    Code:
     gsem (Country -> LN_PAT_1, family(gaussian, lcensored(0)) link(identity)) (Country -> RDTA, family(
    > gaussian, lcensored(0)) link(identity)) (Industry -> LN_PAT_1, family(gaussian, lcensored(0)) link(

    I have two questions here, 1) the first is how to get the marginal effect of these two models?
    I got the result like below,

    Code:
    . mfx compute
    
    Marginal effects after gsem
          y  = Predicted mean (LN_PAT_1) (predict)
             =  .75266612

    .

    however, I expect to get the result like the below picture, Could you please give me some advice about it?

    Please ignore the black area.



    Besides, it is really strange that I cannot god of fit by following codes

    Code:
    . estat gof, stats(all)
    estat gof not valid
    Do you know how to get the god of fit of these kinds of models (such as RMSEA, CFL TLI)?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Hello, can i get the marginal effects of them? I have been checking online for a long time, but did not get any result
