Betreff: st: Generalized residuals after ordered probit estimation

Dear Stata-Listers,


I have some problems in calculating the generalized residuals after the 
estimation of an ordered probit model.
For y = [0,1,2] it should be something like this:

predict `xb_hat', xb
gen r = 0
replace r = (-normalden(_b[/cut1] - xb_hat))/(normal(_b[/cut1] - xb_hat))
if  (y == 0) replace r = (normalden(_b[/cut1] - xb_hat) -
normalden(_b[/cut2] -  xb_hat))/(normal(_b[/cut2] -
xb_hat)-normal(_b[/cut1] - xb_hat))  if (y == 1)
replace r = normalden(_b[/cut2] - xb_hat)/(1 - normal(_b[/cut2] - xb_hat))
 if (y == 2)

Unfortunately, the sum of my residuals is never even close to zero. Do you
 have any advice?
Perhaps I didn't really understood Stata's parameterization of the 
constant/cutpoints?

Thanks,
Sven
