Re: st: AW: xtserial and xtcsd do not run

[itchiftc@rumms.uni-mannheim.de]

Hi Martin,

thank you for your fast and helpful response. I updated Stata and now  
xtserial works.
With xtcsd I don't get the previuos error message anymore. However, if  
I try xtreg, fe and then want to conduct xtcsd (method of Pesaran) it  
says:
. xtcsd, pesaran
Unknown function *sqrt()

or if I take Friedman/Frees it says:
. xtcsd, friedman
no observations

Do you have any ideas what may be the cause for these errors?

Thanks!
Ida
