I am sorry for asking this question again. Just now, I read example 10 in margins user guide carefully. But I am still not sure where I am stuck. In my task, there is a continuous variable whose marginal effects are to be tested across groups, not like the categorical variable in the example. I am sorry that I did not make my question clearly enough. In the following two regressions, "college"=0,1; "SAT" is continuous indicating scores: .probit college SAT a1 a2 a3 if female==0 .probit college SAT a1 a2 a3 if female==1 , my goal is to test if there is significant differences between the marginal effects of scores between females and males. Any hints will be greatly appreciated!

I intend to compare the differences between the marginal effects betwenn the two probit regressions whether they differ significantly with Wald tests. For this I first want to use suest to have one set of marginal effects from both probit regressions. Unfortunately the stored marginal effects, as if mfx2 or margeff were estimation commands, provide the following error message >>>> >>>> >>>> . suest unadvised non_bulge_bracket >>>> unable to generate scores for model unadvised >>>> suest requires that predict allow the score option >>>> r(322); >>>> >>>> "unadvised" and "non_bulge_bracket" are the names I gave to the stored marginal effects: >>>> >>>> probit follow_on_bid industry_experience_deals_A ... if advisory_choice==1 >>>> margeff, at(mean) replace >>>> estimates store unadvised >>>> >>>> probit follow_on_bid industry_experience_deals_A ... if advisory_choice==2 >>>> margeff, at(mean) replace >>>> estimates store non_bulge_bracket >>>> >>>> suest unadvised non_bulge_bracket >>>> >>>> test [unadvised=non_bulge_bracket], common >>>> >>>> test [unadvised]industry_experience_deals_A=[non_bulge_bracket]industry_experience_deals_A >>>> . .. >>>> >>>> With regular probit regression coefficients it works perfectly, but not with the stored marginal effects.
