Dear Joao,
Thanks for your patient explanation. I thought I understood what
you mean. But when I followed the rule and made sure that the
dependent variable has non-missing values for only one category, the
same error still showed up.
What I understand the correct data structure about missing values
of depvar is like this:
depvar varlist, select ( depvar_m = varlist_m)....
500 x 1 z
456 x 1 z
529 x 1 z
601 x 1 z
miss x 2 z
547 x 2 z
408 x 2 z
620 x 3 z
599 x 3 z
512 x 3 z
miss x 3 z
miss x 3 z
So the depvar has non-missing values for category 1 only. It has
missing values for all the other categories (2 and 3).
Would you please kindly correct me if I am wrong?
I appologize to ask another question. If the command works, how
could save the variable lambda (Heckman correction term)?
I appreciate your help a lot!
Yu
