Calculating Inverse Mills Ratio after Probit

I need to compute the Inverse Mills Ratio after the probit command in Stata. From here, I found that predict IMR1, score, will calculate it and store it in IMR1. … Stata documentation for probit post estimation doesn't explicitly state the Inverse Mills Ratio. Thanks. …

Can statistical units measured per thousand inhabitants be bigger than 1000?

But also for a count like people per inhabitants the ratio can exceed 1. … close to 100% yield then it might sometimes exceed 100% due to measurement errors with weighting or because the process has some residue from a previous experiment (when I put 100 gram beans in my coffee mill

Approximation on Inverse Mills ratio for the normal R.V

I've come across several approximations for Mills ratio, but I haven't found any good ones for the Inverse Mills ratio. … Is there any known closed-form approximation for the Inverse Mills ratio (link) specifically for a normal random variable, denoted as $\frac{\phi(x)}{\Phi(x)}$ for "$x>0$"? …

$\lim_{x\to\infty}{1-\Phi(x)\over \phi(x)/x}=1$

Note that $$\frac{1-\Phi\left(x\right)}{\phi\left(x\right)}=\frac{1}{\lambda\left(-x\right)}$$ where $$\lambda\left(x\right)=\frac{\phi\left(x\right)}{\Phi\left(x\right)}$$ is the inverse-Mill's ratio. …

Is the Inverse Mills Ratio Strictly Decreasing?

As far as I know, the Inverse Mills ratio, $\lambda(x)=\phi(x)/\Phi(x)$, is decreasing in $x$. Thus, I am curious now whether $\lambda(x)$ is in fact strictly decreasing in $x$. … Thus, is the inverse Mills ratio in fact "strictly" decreasing in $x$? …

Solving equations with Standard Normal CDF and PDF (Optimization)

Denote by $\lambda(x)$ the Inverse Mill's ratio $$\lambda(x) := \frac{\phi(x)}{1 - \Phi(x)} = \frac{\phi(-x)}{\Phi(-x)}.$$ Your objective can be rephrased as $$\min_{x} K\bigg( \xi x+\lambda(-\xi x) \bigg …
