Is anyone aware of an R procedure similar to STATA's "heckprob" procedure? "Heckprob" fits maximum likelihood probit models correcting for sample selection bias. Thanks, Richard Saba Department of Economics Auburn University Email: sabaric@auburn.edu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Deal all: i want to do the probit with sample selection estimation, the following is my code: probit with sample selection can be done by stata :heckprob The heckprobll is the likelihood function shown in W.H. Greene 5th p714 ¡´ The question is the convergence is very slow compare with Stata using likellihood only. ¡´ Second i did the similar way in matlab using fminsearch , the estimated value is close to true value, however, R gave wrong result...
