Re: st: dtobit, outreg and "marginal effects conditional on being uncesored"

[Marco Ercolani <m.g.ercolani@bham.ac.uk>]

Can anyone suggest how I may use outreg (ver3)  or outreg2 to produce 
a table for the "marginal effects conditional on being uncensored" after
a Tobit regression?

Though the outreg2 documentation suggests it can output 
the marginal effects, in practice it does not.
If I follow the commands in the outreg2 help file I get:

. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)

. version 6: tobit mpg trunk weight, ll(17)
Tobit estimates                                   Number of obs   =         74
                                                  LR chi2(2)      =      73.86
                                                  Prob > chi2     =     0.0000
Log likelihood = -163.74787                       Pseudo R2       =     0.1840

  Obs. summary:         18  left-censored observations at mpg<=17
                        56     uncensored observations

. version 6: dtobit
equation sigma not found
r(111);


(I have tried various permutations of the above commands but I still
can't get tobit, dtobit and outreg2 to work together.)

gratefully,
 Marco.
