Subject   st: heckprob dropping observations
Date   Fri, 12 Feb 2010 18:45:20 -0500

I am running a heckprob model (code and results pasted below), and the
routine appears to be dropping 2 observations from the dataset for reasons
that I cannot trace.  I have been pouring through my data to see where I
might have missing values generating the problem, but I find none in the
first stage.

 

Specifically, I have 890 complete observations for all variables from the
first stage of the equation ("ret_12") and 785 complete observations for all
variables from the second stage of the equation ("ret_23").  To check this,
I ran a simple probit of the first stage and indeed all 890 observations
were included (again, code and results pasted below).

 

Has anyone else ever encountered such a problem, or am I missing something
simple?

 

Thanks-

 

Carli
