I would like to know your opinion about an error I am having when I run a
simple program.
[snipped--reproduced below]
Assuming I have two variables, a and b:
why does the following problem show up?
. rtpcr a b
option model() required
r(198);
. rtpcr a b, model(overdominant)
options not allowed
r(101);

I'm using Stata 10, but I can't reproduce your error when I type-in what
you've shown of your program. The contents of Results window from running
the do-file are copied and pasted below. Notice that it doesn't balk when I
specify -model(overdominant)-.
Is is possible that -rtpcr- calls another program that doesn't allow options
and tries to feed it options? I'd recommend -set trace on- for further
diagnosis. You can adjust -set tracedepth- to dig deeper or shallower for
called programs.
