I need that the argument of the function is as negative as possible in
order to ensure concavity of the likelihood function I am estimating.
For this, I need a probit with a very negative cut-off, and I get this
with a normal (-1000,1), for example.
I think you want -normal(x - A)-.

Do you know how to compute the Normal CDF for the non-standard case? I
mean, Stata provides "normal(x)", assuming standard normal (0,1), but
I'd like to compute normal x, for a normal distribution (A,1), where A
is different from zero.
