I think another exception to use -xi:- with Stata 11, rather than use
factor variables, is when the following estimation commands are being
used
-exlogistic-, -expoisson-, -qreg-, -iqreg-, -sqreg- and -bsqreg-.
There may be other commands that do not allow factor variables.
There are also probably many user-written commands that have not been
updated to work with factor variables. I know my -gologit2- program
does not. (Incidentally, I never have liked xi, mostly because of the
hideous variable names it creates; I'd rather generate the dummies
and interaction terms myself.)
