Well, you've got a typo due to wrapping imposed by statalist. Lines 10 and
11 should be one line. You should really read up ( -whelp egen- and -whelp
tab- ) to figure out how to make a set of indicator variables, and then you
can use -svyci- to get confidence intervals.
Install svyci by typing
net from http://www-personal.umich.edu/~nicholsa/stata
net install svyci

Dear Austin and other lister,
I used the code from [email protected], which you let me know in your
e-mail the other day. I believe I didn't make any typographical error, but
STATA didn't calculate CIs and ended up with a caution message ( invalid
name r(199);.
Below is the outputs:

Did I make any mistake? Any suggestion? Many thanks for your invaluable
help to a novice STATA user. Hong
