Hi Quang,
These two lines:
> - replace `yb0' = ( `y_bo')^(`alpha') if `y_b0'>=0
> = replace __000014 = ( )^(__00000T) if __000018>=0
Tell you that the local macro `y_bo' in the first line is empty (hence the
empty parentheses when the macro is evaluated in the second line).
I assume you mean `y_b0' instead.
As an aside, you could just code
generate double `yb0' = (`y_b0')^(`alpha') if `y_b0'>=0
instead of
generate double `yb0' = .
replace `yb0' = (`y_b0')^(`alpha') if `y_b0'>=0
Same goes for `ya1'.
HTH,
Glenn.

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?
