It is hard to answer this question as you are not very clear
about what model you use and what you have already tried to
do. Apperently you have at least two model: one with a
binary depedent variable and one with a continuous dependent
variable (restricted between 0 and 1) on which you use a
-tobit- model. In case of -tobit-, -mfx- returns by default
the marginal effects with respect to the latent variable,
which happens to be the same as the coefficients you get
directly from -tobit-. If you want other types of marginal
effects you have to specify that with the -predict- option
within -mfx-. As to your binary model, you have just given
too little information to be able to give you more than
some very general advise, like: "You can often get predicted
probabilities with the -predict-, and the -adjust- command
can sometimes also be useful".
Hope this helps,
Maarten
PS. If this does not answer you question, than it may help
to read the advise on how to formulate answerable questions
on: http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/statalist.html#advice ,
and than sent a refrased version of this question to the list.
PPS. It is often safer to avoid any reference to the gender
of the potential readers of your message.
