Re: st: Cramer Ridder test for multinomial logit model - syntax error

[Sangamitra Ramachander <sangamitra@gmail.com>]

Tirthankar,

Thanks very much. I got the ado file from the same source that you
mention below:

*! version 1.2 (25 November 2003)               Joao Pedro Wagner de Azevedo

I tried what you have suggested: changed all instances of "e(k_cat)"
to "e(k_out)" on the ado file, but I get the same invalid syntax
error. I'm not sure if this should be implemented in a specific way
other than manually, which is what I tried. Thanks again.

Best,
Sangamitra
