Example: Robust bivariate probit regression

In this example, we will use the automobile dataset that ships with Stata. We have one binary variable foreign that
denotes whether a car is domestic (foreign = 0) or foreign (foreign = 1). We will also assume for the sake of this example,
that there is another variable guzzler that denotes whether a car is a gas guzzler (guzzler = 1) or not (guzzler = 0). The
guzzler variable was created using gen guzzler = (mpg>=24).

Knowing that most foreign cars imported are smaller and that smaller cars usually get better mileage, we wish to model
these variables with the length and weight of the car.
