The process is the same as for a probit model, except you need to
specify which outcome is the relevant one for your prediction. You may
need to repeat this twice, if you want two (inverse) mills ratios.
For example, if working has three outcomes (work full-time, work
part-time, not work), and you want an inverse mills ratio for the
working part-time outcome:
mprobit work age edu children region
capture drop phat
capture drop wmills
predict phat if e(sample), xb outcome(2)
gen wmills = normden(phat)/norm(phat)
Then just repeat this for working full-time by specifying outcome(1)
and using different variable names for hat and mills.
