Emily Clough <[email protected]> inquired about using constraints with -mprobit-.
Here is an example:

. webuse sysdsn3
(Health insurance data)

. constraint 1 [Prepaid]age = [Uninsure]age

. mprobit insure age male nonwhite site2 site3, constraints(1)

Iteration 0:   log likelihood = -538.23525  
Iteration 1:   log likelihood = -534.84715  
Iteration 2:   log likelihood = -534.72541  
Iteration 3:   log likelihood = -534.72518  
Iteration 4:   log likelihood = -534.72518  

Multinomial probit regression                     Number of obs   =        615
                                                  Wald chi2(9)    =      39.87
Log likelihood = -534.72518                       Prob > chi2     =     0.0000

 ( 1)  [Prepaid]age - [Uninsure]age = 0
