mfx is not working in probit.

[Kazi Aiman Udoy]

Hello Everyone

I have run the following command for my probit model:

probit vocationaltraining hhsize gender literacy uneduc_adults mfs_use loan totalsavings remitt totalassets mobile1 ib3.division members_in_agri agrishock distfacility3, robust

To get the marginal effect after running the probit model I write the mfx command.

But when I type mfx and hit enter it shows the following text in red mark.

"default predict() is unsuitable for marginal-effect calculation"

Why does such problem is arising? What can I do now?

unless you are using a quite old version of Stata, you should use -margins-; note that the manual entry for margins has examples following a probit; see

h margins
