Mr. Alfaro,
Since I am not very familiar with programming language, is it possible for you to explain in a simpler way about the steps that I should take? I checked the mira command in Stata, but it was kind of complicated for me. I will really appreciate your assistance. Thanks a lot for your help.
Sincerely,
Sena Durguner
