I am unable to replicate some of Scott Merryman's estimates using his
code. I get that MEM is equal to AME, which does not make sense. I am
using Stata/SE 9.2 on Windows XP, SP2. Perhaps I am missing something
obvious?

Here's my output:

. use "http://www.stata-press.com/data/r9/nhanes2f.dta",clear

. qui svy: probit heartatk height weight female black age highbp

. mfx
