I do not use this stuff, so I cannot help, but it seems to me
that no-one can help you unless you show us
Stata syntax that you typed
what Stata did (or did not do)
This really is the oldest and best advice on this list. Doing
anything else is just going to increase your frustration and
get you nowhere slowly.
