Re: st: Questions about selmlog and svyselmlog

["Yu(Sophia) Zhang" <sophia.zhangyu@gmail.com>]

Dear Joao,

  Thanks so much for your reply. The second question has been solved
following your suggestion.

   For the first one, do you mean that across all categories ( which
are schools in my selection equation), only one category can have
non-missing values of dep var, and the other categories must have some
missing values of depvar? I deleted some values of depvar to meet this
requirement, but I still got the same error. Would you mind explaining
it in more detail?

  Thank you so much!

  Yu
