Isok: "touse" is a local macro, a fundamental construct in Stata, which you must become familiar with. When referred to, local macros, are enclosed by left single-quotes and right single-quotes; for example, see the -help- for -forvalues-. http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/programming/correct-delimiter-for-local-macros/ Steve On Nov 29, 2012, at 11:59 AM, Kim, Isok wrote: Steve, That was it!

So I would start with creating a program like that to compute bca confidence intervals for just a regular regression coefficient in a linear regression, no sureg, no indirect effects. That way you can focus on what -bootstrap- needs to create bca confidence intervals. Get that program to work. Than start with a two equation -sureg- and just a simple regression coefficient. That way you can see if -sureg- is a problem. Get that program to work. Than a two equation sureg and a single indirect effect. etc. etc. Hope this helps, Maarten On Thu, Nov 29, 2012 at 5:07 PM, Kim, Isok <isokkim@buffalo.edu> wrote: -- --------------------------------- Maarten L.
