Subject   st: "Partial" Triple Interaction in Logit Model Not Supported by INTEFF3
Date   Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:32:07 -0400

I have two questions related to INTEFF3:

(1) Has a macro been written to accommodate a "partial" triple
interaction? 

I say "partial" because I want to interact a 3-category variable and a
binary variable. INTEFF isn't appropriate because my first variable is
neither continuous or binary. Looking at the documentation for INTEFF3,
all interaction combinations must be present (I'm missing cat2*cat3 and
cat2*cat3*dummy because they're both equal to 0). My model is
generically "svy: logit y cat2 cat3 dummy cat2*dummy cat3*dummy;"

(2) Any suggestions for determining the source of a conformability
error?

Even though my situation doesn't quite work for INTEFF3, I wanted to
investigate it's use for future interaction questions. So, I created
meaningful dummies based on the documented syntax
(http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/i/inteff3.html  using x1, x2, and x3).
I do not have missing data and none of the variables or their
interactions are dropped due to collinearity. However, I keep getting a
conformability error r(503). I've tried resetting the version as
suggested in older posts. Also, I've tried running as logit in case
weights aren't supported.
