Re: st: Marginal Effects

mfx needs to make predictions from the model that was fit by the estimation 
command.  The predictions from a command usually come from a second ado file 
command_p.  In this instance, Stata is looking for dhurd_p to generate model 
predictions.  You can try to write such an ado file yourself (based on 
looking at similar files).  You may be able to use margeff (findit margeff), 
but I'm not sure if that addresses this issue.
