Example 21.6 Types of Tobit Models

The following five examples show how to estimate different types of Tobit models (see Types of Tobit Models). Output 21.6.1 through Output 21.6.5 show the results of the corresponding programs.

Type 1 Tobit 

data a1;
   keep y x;
   do i = 1 to 500;
      x = rannor( 19283 );
      u = rannor( 19283 );
      yl = 1 + 2 * x + u;
      if ( yl > 0 ) then y = yl;
      else                y = 0;
      output;
   end;
run;

 /*-- Type 1 Tobit --*/
 proc qlim data=a1 method=qn;
    model y = x;
    endogenous y ~ censored(lb=0);
 run;
