Dear all,
I want to bootstrap e.g. the gini coefficient with inequal7 in Stata8. In version 7 I used
the command line
bs "inequal7 i11101" "S_4", reps(10)
and it worked.
Now the command line seems to have change for Stata8 as it should be
bs "command" exp_list [, reps(#)]
What I have tried is
bs "inequal7 i11101" S_4, reps(10)
Then Stata responds:
S_4 not found
error in statistic: S_4
I also tried
bs "inequal7 i11101" r(gini), reps(10)
and Stata responds:
type mismatch
error in statistic: r(gini)
Of course I could use
version 7
bs "inequal7 i11101" "S_4", reps(10)
but isn't there a way to do it in Stata8?
Thank you very much for your help,
Katja Hoelsch
