I wish that -update- resolve these errors. But still.

. which ivreg2
c:\ado\plus\i\ivreg2.ado
*! ivreg2 2.2.09  17jul2008
*! authors cfb & mes
*! see end of file for version comments

. which xtivreg2
c:\ado\plus\x\xtivreg2.ado
*! xtivreg2 1.0.09 4Nov2007
*! author mes

. which ranktest
c:\ado\plus\r\ranktest.ado
*! ranktest 1.1.03  4May2008
*! author mes, based on code by fk

Does it depend on the version of STATA? Someone mentioned about it but I am not sure.

I list again 'cause no one answer.

What am I supposed to do for this error?

xi: xtivreg2 y (x1 x2 x3  = iv1 iv2 iv3 iv4 iv5) i.time, fe small
cluster(group)

i.time            _Itime_1-50     (naturally coded; _Itime_50 omitted)

Warning - singleton groups detected.  1 observation(s) not used.
          panelsetup_u():  3301  subscript invalid
              panelsetup():     -  function returned error
                     rkstat():     -  function returned error
                    <istmt>:     -  function returned error

I followed the prevous directions. But Still.
My stata is version 10 with 64-bit

Which versions of -xtivreg2-, -ivreg2- and -ranktest- are you using?

And have you updated your version of Stata with -update all-?

In my experience these Mata errors usually go away after a full
updating.

--Mark

Just in case, I experimented why it has the errors.

xi: xtivreg2 y (x1 x2 x3  = iv1 iv2 iv3 iv4 iv5) i.time, fe
small   --> no
errors

xi: xtivreg2 y x1^ x2^ x3^ i.time, fe small cluster(group)
--> no errors

where X1^ indicates the instrumented value of x1 in the first stage.


I hope these experiments to help you to answer me.
