Check that (1) Your Stata is updated. -nlogit- was fixed for missing
observations.
(2) Your covariates are not all dummies. Manos suggested to get some multiplicative variables: something like "married (dummy) times income
(in dollars)". Also, if ageskl is age times dummy-skilled and age times dummy-unskilled why you have both? (3) Drop the nolog in the process... maybe there is some information that we/you want to know, such as "not concave", "variable xyz dropped
due to collinearity", etc. (4) Run a SIMPLE version of the model... I meant really simple. You should play with fraction of your dataset, and less covariates.

You've given us the command that you use, but not shown what the error's Stata is reporting are. These are likely to be informative in helping resolve your problem. From the FAQ (http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/statalist.html#advice)... * Say exactly what you typed and exactly what Stata typed (or did)
in response. N.B. exactly! If you can, reproduce the error with one of Stata's provided datasets or a simple concocted dataset that you include in your posting. Don't send examples like this, which gives no information: o The command -fiddle- worked yesterday, but it is not working today. or like this, which gives very little information: * I am using -frog-, but I just get the message "invalid
syntax".
This example shows better style, setting aside the fact that its answer can be found in the online help: * I am using Stata 9 to try to draw a plot using -scatter-. Here is an example showing my problem with the auto data: . scatter mpg weight, s(p) I get lots of very small points. Why doesn't Stata use plus symbols?

age, race etc and in the next stage with only the wage employed run another MNL of occupational choices (3 choices: skilled, unskilled etc) with controls like the first stage (not the same though). But I
also want to do a NLOGIT while incorporating all the decisions, so there will be 6 choices in the bottom set (3 choices out of wage employed, 3 remaining categories of employment status) along with the first set of 4 alternatives. I constructed the data set and the tree is running fine but I was unable to run NLOGIT and was facing error message. Is it due to the use of common individual specific variables in both stages? But I need to have demographic and education variables in both stages. Any suggestion is highly appreciated. A simple version of the model is as follows: nlogit choice (occchoice=ageprof ageskl ageuskl agesemp ageunemp agenemp /* */ age2prof age2skl age2uskl age2semp age2unemp age2nemp) (empstat=ageemp2 ageemp3 ageemp4 /* */ age2emp2 age2emp3 age2emp4 marriedemp2 marriedemp3 marriedemp4), group(caseno) nolog Best Regards Bidisha
