I have a panel dataset with t=3.  I'm doing a simple probit equation
for a binary dependent variable in each of the time periods.  All
independent variables are time invariant.

For  t=1, the predicted classifications for the probit (using -estat
clas-) product a lot of false negatives.

What could be causing the trouble?  Would including a time dummy help,
or do I have to use fixed effects?
