st: heckprob mfx
Hi experts,
I am new in stata and even newer in statalist. I am having a heckprob problem for your help. As below, I have hospital (dummy var) insignificant in the 2nd step modeling insignificant, but when I use mfx to calculate the marginal effects, it becomes significant. Here is some of the output.
Your advices will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Lan
