Re: st: Delta Method after Quaids

[Syed Basher <syed.basher@gmail.com>]

Hi, I am guessing that you have already installed Brian's program
using: -net install st0268-

Only Brian or Stata programmer(s) can identify what went wrong. Sorry.

After I estimate the model, I want to use delta method to calculate all coefficients and elasticities at the average values for budget shares, expenditure and prices. But I'm have some problemas wiht the delta method. After I run the codes, Stata give me this message: unknown function (). I don't know what it is.
