Could be a precision issue, which you can check via

*************
forval c=1/6 {
 loc cc=(`c'-1)/10
 local athrho=1/2*ln((1+`cc')/(1-`cc'))
 const `c' [athrho]_cons=`athrho'
 }

Betreff: st: Error r(303) when using the constraint command

Hi Everybody,

I am estimating a biprobit model, and I intend to impose different
constraints.
So, I am using a loop to create the different constraints, and then using
these one by one.
I am using STATA 11.

Here is what I do:

forval c=1/6 {
 loc cc=(`c'-1)/10
 local athrho=1/2*ln((1+`cc')/(1-`cc'))
 const `c' [athrho]_cons=`athrho'
 }
* constrained biprobit regression
forval c=1/6 {
biprobit (y = d `xvars') (d = `xvars'), const(`c')
estimates store m`c'
}

The output looks like this:

Fitting comparison equation 1:
(note: constraint number 1 caused error r(303))
Iteration 0:   log likelihood = -3954.7171
Iteration 1:   log likelihood = -3696.4398
Iteration 2:   log likelihood = -3694.1082
Iteration 3:   log likelihood = -3694.1066
Iteration 4:   log likelihood = -3694.1066
Fitting comparison equation 2:

Iteration 2:   log likelihood = -3029.2813
Iteration 3:   log likelihood = -3028.7581
Iteration 4:   log likelihood = -3028.7373
Iteration 5:   log likelihood = -3028.7367
Iteration 6:   log likelihood = -3028.7366
Iteration 7:   log likelihood = -3028.7366

I get this warning for all the 6 constraints: (note: constraint number n
caused error r(303)); n=1,2, ..., 6
Any comments/suggestions will be very helpful!

Thanks,

Manan
