Thanks Glenn and Maarten. I appreciate it.
Here is part of the "trace" that contains the error:
- generate double `yb0' = .
= generate double __000014 = .
- replace `yb0' = ( `y_bo')^(`alpha') if `y_b0'>=0
= replace __000014 = ( )^(__00000T) if __000018>=0
invalid syntax
replace `yb1' = ( `y_b1')^(`alpha') if `y_b1'>=0
I double check the code and nothing seems wrong. Do you have any idea?
Many thanks?
P.S. when I use "ml trace on" , there was message "you must issue -ml
model- first" despite I used the "ml model" right before that. Any
idea?
