Christoph,
I haven't had a closer look, but I think there is a very simple
solution for your problem: you can simply use an if condition with
-mfx-. Here is an example using the auto data:
****
sysuse auto
probit foreign mpg rep78 weight
* marginal effects at conditional means of mpg and weight if rep78==3:
mfx compute if rep78==3
* check if the last column really contains conditional means:
sum mpg weight if e(sample) & rep78==3
****
I quickly checked Martin's solution, and it comes to the same results.
Hope this helps,
Eva
