[Ismail Adam]

Dear All,

Could you please explain the differences between the two commands?

mvreg and mvprobit

[Maarten Buis]

mvreg is for multiple continuous dependent variables and moddels them as a multivariate normal distribution.

mvprobit is when you have a categorical dependent variable and want to assume the latent variables follow a multivariate normal distribution, with covariances of 0.
