Dear Statalisters,
Let me respond to this message by answering an unanswered
question that I posed a week or so ago-- if anyone else runs
across the same problem maybe they will find the answer
archived here.
I have a 24 country survey dataset, and my outreg was not
working when I ran ordered probits and (a) included country
dummies (b) clustered by country. It was the combination of (a)
and (b) that caused the problem. The problem was successfully
diagnosed by someone not on this list -- outreg broke down
because when I ran these regressions e(df_m) was set by stata
equal to zero. I now possess a version of outreg that can cope with this
problem (at the cost of including the cut values in the table); and if
anyone runs into this problem they may obtain said ado file from me.
