Dear statalisters

I am running xttobit estimator. I tried different numbers of quadrature
points (4, 8, 12..30) but I had the same problem. I am not sure that the
estimates are robust. Convergence achived after 4 iterations, I get s.e
for sigma_e but not for sigma_u and 0 for rho.
In other side to use the adaptive quadrature I want to get a starting
values from xttobit ( sigma_u and sigma_e). It's not possible because
sigma_u equal 0.
Have you an idea about this question?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
