John,
apologies, I didn't actually write a myprobit before sending the post,
so I guessed about what the variable names after simulation will be
from my previous simulations. It turns out that they would be _b_x1
and _b_x2, not y_b_x1 and y_b_x2 (same for standard deviations).
Therefore, just drop the leading y everywhere in the loop, and
everything should work fine. Here is a working example.
****************
matrix mean = 2,2
matrix sd = 1,4
matrix corr = 1,0.5\0.5,1
capture program drop myprobit
program myprobit
drop _all
set obs 1000
drawnorm x1 x2, mean(mean) sd(sd) corr(corr) cstorage(full)
gen eps = rnormal(0,1)
gen ystar = 5+3*x1-2*x2+eps
gen y = normal(ystar)>0.5
probit y x1 x2
end
simulate _b _se, reps(50) seed(123) : myprobit
foreach v in x1 x2 {
gen t_`v' = _b_`v'/_se_`v'
gen p_`v' = 2*(1-normal(abs(t_`v')))
}
*****************
Hope this helps,
Eva
