RE: st: imputing continuous values when respondents select categories, e.g., income category

[Roy Wada <roywada@hotmail.com>]

ystar(a,b) will still give you censored predictions, which
may not be a good idea as Richard indicated.
 
Anyone knows if it's okay to use non-censored predictions from 
-intreg- as a part of 2SLS and bootstrap the standard error,
assuming we have identifying instruments in the first stage?
