Thank you very much.
Can we think an alternative of your previous suggestion about the prediction of dy/dx when it exceeds unit?
One example will be: if the prediction exceeds unit and x is counted in 100s (one unit of x in sample data means 100 in reality. For instance, x stands for kilometres. In reality, the distance from Brussels to Leuven is 20 km, but in our sample we count the distance as 0.2), can we interpret the dy/dx by, lets say, one unit of x increase in reality, the y will increase (dy/dx)/100?

These questions are answered by the helpfileof -mfx-:
-mfx- will also work for -probit-, -logit- and
-tobit-. In case of -probit-, and -logit- I actually
prefer -prchange-, which is part of the -spost-
package (see -findit spost-). For -tobit- there also
exist the -dtobit- user written command (see:
-findit dtobit-). You can specify the values of x at which
you want to calculate the marginal effect with the at()
option, see -help mfx-.

how to specify a certain value of x if I want to predict the dy/dx using -mfx- for the certain value of x? And is there any similar postestimation command like -mfx- for -probit-, -logit- and -tobit-?
