Well, -clogit- does support initial values as you can see from its dialog
box and help file and from my example earlier. You can post your code that
led to the error and we can try to work out the problem that leads to the
error message. Also -set trace on- and report the area around the error...
See -xtmixed- for an example where the -from()- option is indeed not
allowed...

Betreff: Re: st: AW: clogit, "initial values not feasible" error
thank you. I tried this, but i get "time-series operators not allowed"
as response to the -clogit- line. That help file indicates that "Not
all estimators in Stata support this option", i guess its the case
here.
Thanks nonetheless
