Hi,
Can somebody mail me the correct code for Poi's (2002) QUAIDS
model. I downloaded the code from
http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj2-4/st0029/ but I suspect
there are some mistakes in this code as I keep getting error
message like 'conformability error' or 'the subcommand post has
been moved from estimates to ereturn' when I run the code. I would
like to be able to replicate his results to see how this works in
Stata.
I have emailed Lavanya a zip file containing programs to fit a QUAIDS model.
I have never had anyone report a conformability error when running my
QUAIDS code, though the error messages pertaining to the command
-estimates post- moving to -ereturn post- is understandable, since the
-estimates- commands were rewritten and renamed -ereturn- in Stata 8 or
Stata 9. For those who want replicate the steps I took in that Stata
Journal article, just change the commands -estimates post- and
-estimates display- to -ereturn post- and -ereturn display-,
respectively.
Also, I'm using Stata 10 and the code for Poi's example was written
in Stata version 7 (all the .ado files say version 7).. could this
cause a problem in the code running properly in State version 10?
For those who have access to Stata 10, I strongly recommend using
-nlsur- instead of the programs in my 2002 Stata Journal article. The
last example in the reference manual entry for -nlsur- shows how to fit
the basic AIDS model, and it can be adapted to other demand systems as
well. Using -nlsur- requires just one program instead of the small
handful that the older method using -ml- requires, and -nlsur- tends to
fit these models much more quickly.
