Hi,

I guess you are missing the /// after `lnf'=


It will work as below (write it in one line):




. webuse union, clear
(NLS Women 14-24 in 1968)

. program define gplogit
1. version 6
2. args lnf theta delta
3. qui replace `lnf' = $ML_y1*`theta'*(1+`delta')-ln(1+exp(`theta'*(1+`delta')))
4. end

. ml model lf gplogit (union = age black grade south) (delta: black,nocons)

. ml maximize

initial: log likelihood = -18160.456
alternative: log likelihood = -15543.013
rescale: log likelihood = -14686.973
rescale eq: log likelihood = -14013.151
Iteration 0: log likelihood = -14013.151 (not concave)
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -13478.948 (not concave)
Iteration 2: log likelihood = -13390.031
Iteration 3: log likelihood = -13354.622
Iteration 4: log likelihood = -13271.993
Iteration 5: log likelihood = -13270.038
Iteration 6: log likelihood = -13267.285
Iteration 7: log likelihood = -13267.225
Iteration 8: log likelihood = -13267.224

Number of obs = 26200
Wald chi2(4) = 1073.40
Log likelihood = -13267.224 Prob > chi2 = 0.0000

Subject: st: Fixing an -ml model- syntax problem



For fun, I thought I'd test out an old piece of Stata code I found in Allison (1999: 203-4) that fires up a logit model which takes into account unequal residual variation across groups. I'm sure it's just a minor thing, but I'm having problems running his Stata 6 routine, which utilizes -ml- code:

webuse union, clear
program define gplogit
version 6
args lnf theta delta
qui replace `lnf' =
$ML_y1*`theta'*(1+`delta')
ln(1+exp(`theta'*(1+`delta')))
end
ml model lf gplogit (union = age black grade south) ///
(delta: black,nocons)
ml maximize

Using Glenn Hoetker's -complogit- routine shows there is residual variation and actions the above model. Unfortunately, all I get with this code is

invalid syntax
r(198);

which is rather puzzling, as I can't see a lot wrong. Can anyone solve this puzzle?
