HI guys 
When I run Tobit regression model , I have 138 observations and only 19 variables include 13 dummy variables. However, when I reduce the number of variables to 18, I get results, if 19 , no results obtained , can anyone tell me what is the problem and how to be sorted

As Adel has probably heard during some statistics class, according to a long lasting rule-of-thumb, researcher should have around 20 observations for each predictor included in her/his multiple linear regression model. I would assume that this guidance may sound interesting for Tobit models, too.
Last time I came across this recommendation was in: Katz MH. Multivariable Analysis. A Practical Guide for Clinicians, 2nd edition. Cambridge:
Cambridge University Press, 2006: 81.

Kindest Regards,
Carlo
