Carl,
It would be helpful if you could provide the actual Stata output,
and/or, even better, the .do code that generates it together with a
pointer to where the Cornwell dataset can be found, preferably in
Stata format. (Assuming that the output and code is brief, which I
suspect is the case.)
Cheers,
Mark
