Dear Statalisters,

I am using a probit model, and for a couple of variables I receive the message "predicts failure perfectly".
There is no convergence.
However, since it is a probit model, when I am interested in are the marginal effects.
Thus, I go on and use mfx, Stata produces the marginal effects of those couple of variable too.
Are those values meaningful? Or I should change strategy, switching to firthlogit (which cope with the problem of separation)
