Re: st: predict, condpb

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

I think you might need to tell us much more about your do-file and
what it runs immediately before it invokes -predict-.

Earlier I was following your guess that something is no longer allowed
in newer versions of Stata (Stata 12 in your case) but on further
thought that's unlikely to be the problem.

The key point here is that -predict- in itself does nothing much
except call up whatever prediction program is associated with the last
estimation command.

It sounds as if you might need something user-written to be installed,
specifically                  -nlogitrum_p-, although the error
message remains a puzzle to me.
