"loc not found" sounds weird, the real trouble is that you put a "%" sign in the "sigma" specification. Just put 0.027 there...

Hi

I have tried the following commande:

simulate mean=r(mean) var=r(Var), reps(10000): lnsim, obs(100)

from STATA help and for Inst. F

my command was:
simulate mean=r(mean) var=r(Var), reps(10000): lnsim, obs(273) mu(71) sigma(2.7%)

and I got the following error:

loc not found
an error occurred when simulate executed lnsim
r(111);
When it resolved I should run the analysis for all INSs and the mean?

the SE in the floowing table was SD.


I have copied the  table again.

Many thanks for any comment
Bests

Thanks for your kind and quick reply Martin

I tried it before but couldn't understand the commands
in Help file. I arranged the data with the CIs.
