Re: st: frustrated: MFX after regoprob

Hi, everyone,
I am estimating an random effects generalized ordered

I cannot get marginal effects by using the mfx command
since I am getting the "Warning: ... rescaling"
First off, I don't think you are doing anything wrong. regoprob is a
hybrid of gologit2 and reoprob, using code adapted from both. Early
versions of gologit2 had the exact same problem with mfx not
working. After spending some time on a wild goose chase of my own, I
was finally able to fix that problem in gologit2, but I believe
regoprob/goprobit still use the earlier problematic code. (Make sure
you have the most current versions of regoprob & goprobit though.)
If you post a simple replicable example (e.g. something using
auto.dta or whatever) I may be able to suggest a workaround. I'm
thinking it may just be a matter of getting regoprob to use
gologit2's predict command instead, but I'm not sure.
Incidentally, you may want to install -mfx2- as well. It is like a
slow version of margeff! But it works with more commands, including
gologit2 and goprobit. If, say, your dv has 4 outcomes, mfx2
automates the process of calling mfx 4 times, and also stores the
results in a form that can be used by routines like outreg2 and estout.
