I am a beginner STATA user/programmer and have run
into problems when trying to use an ado file.
�
I want to use an ado file to work with -svrest-,
however I'm running into problems when it gets to the
ado file trying to run.
�
I've been submitting the -svrset- part first.� I then
try to submit the line
svrest "ml_try2", mat(e(b))
and here is where I run into problems.
�
Below you will find the code in my ado file.
---------� begin ml_try2.ado� ----------------
program define mlcot
� version 8.1
� args lnf B0 B1 B2 sigma
� tempvar res
� quietly gen double `res' = logcot -
(`B0'-`B1'*(exp(-`B2'*smd720)))
� quietly replace `lnf'=-0.5*ln(2*_pi) -ln(`sigma')
-0.5*`res'^2/`sigma'^2
end
ml model lf mlcot (B0:) (B1:) (B2:) (sigma:), robust
ml search
ml maximize
---------� end ml_try2.ado� -----------------
�
I get the following error:
� unrecognized command:� mlcot
� program mlcot not found
� error when command executed on original dataset
� invalid syntax
�
I don't know if there is something w/my ado file or
not.� I do want to point out that when I run the
program above by itself, I have no problems & get
results.� So I don't believe that there's anything
wrong with the coding to run the -ml- model.
�
One of the thoughts that I had was that maybe there
was something wrong about where I was storing
everything.� If anything needed to be in a certain
folder.� As of now, the ado file is found in
c:\ado\personal.
�
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
