Dear Statalister,

I am estimating a regoprob and I would like to compute the average
partial effects.

To do this I need to rescale the parameters before I obtain the
predicted probabilities. 

By having a look at the regoprob_p.ado (line 284 onwards), when the
-predict p- command is used, the linear prediction is rescaled
automatically and then the predicted probabilities are computed.

However, I think that when the option -predict xb- is used, the linear
prediction is not rescaled and in order to move on I have to rescale it
myself. Is that correct?

Finally, I d like to ask how exactly the linear prediction is computed
from regorpob if one wanted to do it manually. When I am trying, I get a
constant difference between my computation and the one from regoprob
that, I think, shows that I am missing something very specific.

Thank you in advance

Regards
Manos
