Description

Calculates the 'Inverse Mill's Ratios' of univariate and bivariate probit models.

Usage

1

Arguments

x

probit model estimated by probit, glm or vglm.

all

a logical value indicating whether the inverse Mill's Ratios should be calculated for all observations.

Details

The formula to calculate the inverse Mill's ratios for univariate probit models is taken from Greene (2003, p. 785), whereas the formulas for bivariate probit models are derived in Henning and Henningsen (2005).

Value

A data frame that contains the Inverse Mill's Ratios (IMR) and the delta values (see Greene, 2003, p. 784).

If a univariate probit estimation is provided, the variables IMR1 and IMR0 are the Inverse Mill's Ratios to correct for a sample selection bias of y = 1 and y = 0, respectively. Accordingly, 'delta1' and 'delta0' are the corresponding delta values.

If a bivariate probit estimation is provided, the variables IMRa1, IMRa0, IMRb1, and IMRb0 are the Inverse Mills Ratios to correct for a sample selection bias of y = 1 and y = 0 in equations 'a' and 'b', respectively. Accordingly, 'deltaa1', 'deltaa0', 'deltab1' and 'deltab0' are the corresponding delta values.
