Thank you for your replies !

Below is a copy of the part around the error. I noticed that dumy102 and bin103 had been transformed into o.dumy102 and o.bin103.

In the previous version, these variables were dropped automatically from the regression model when there was collinearity, but it is no longer the case in stata11 .

"As of Stata 11, variables are no longer dropped because of collinearity. Instead, these variables are omitted and are labeled with the “o.” operator in the column names of the resulting parameter vector.", (http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/lang/post.html).

This is the cause of the problem. When I drop the collinear variables before running the model, it works (adding "version 10.1:" before the regression model and/or mfxrcspline does not solve the problem)

So I guess I need to find a way of dropping the collinear variables variables before running the models (or use Stata10).

Best,

Bruno

And yet, strangely, Bruno does not seem to have used the "factor variable notation" in any way in his call to -ssc d mfxrcspline-. I tried to recreate his problem, but all efforts failed. The "click-to-run" examples in the help file do work as expected. So I would ask Bruno to -set tr on- and report the area around the error...

I used mfxrcspline with Stata10. I recently upgraded to
Stata11, ran on Stata11 the do file that worked (and

got the following error message

. mfxrcspline, link(log) level(80) generate(marg margl

Do you know what this message means and how to solve it ?

Martin maybe on to something. None of my programs allow the new
factor variable notation. This is not because I think that it is
a bad idea, but just because I haven't found the time to find
out how to implement it. I have tried out some examples with and
without the new factor variable notation, and indeed everything
works as expected as long as you don't use the factor variable
notation but errors are returned as soon as the factor varaibles
are used.

Thanks for the report,
Maarten
