I guess the reasons no one answered your previous posting were
tbat
1. No such command exists, although individuals might be
wary of asserting that.
2. It is very rare that undocumented options exist to do
important things. Thus if the options -re- or -fe- were
allowed with -zinb- there is no obvious reason why
StataCorp would want to hide such important functionality.
But if the manual doesn't document it and attempts to use it
fail you are near a proof of non-existence for that command.
(I don't think a panel -zinb- would be called -zinb-, given Stata's naming
practices, which is another hint.)
