Although it is possible to calculate the slope of the probit
function for each individual (and that is what is going on in the
calculation of average marginal effects) and transform it to an
individual-level marginal effect, it is not possible to compute an
interval estimate from a sample of size 1: that is, you will not be
able to consider the precision of the values. If you calculate an
AME from a number of observations, you can.

The old -adjust- command has been superceded by -margins-. Given
that -adjust- has a generate option, I wonder why -margins- does not?
Personally, I wish -adjust- had been updated for Stata 11. -margins-
may be able to do most of the same things, but the command can be a
little overwhelming -- adjust was pretty straightfoward.
