I tried to replicate the glm postestimation example using the
beetle.dta closely following the code presented in the Stata9
Reference manual A-J on page 424. I have two puzzeling observations.
1) the glm model (without the -quitely- option) prompts a warning
message: "convergence not achieved" which does not occur when in
addition -, irls- is specified.
2)-predict- and -mfx- yield the following error message: "Unknown
function /()"
Anybody any ideas?
