Dear Statalisters,

I am using Stata 11.2 on a Windows OS. 

I am estimating a multinomial logit model with 7 categorical outcomes. As the estimated log odds ratio and marginal effects for some of the outcomes (e.g.) are insignificant in statistical and economic terms, I would like to do a Cramer Ridder test (see Cramer J.S. and Ridder G. (1991), "Pooling States in the Multinomial Logit Model", Journal of Econometrics, 47, 267-272). 

There is a user-written program for this test: 

package crtest from http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/c

      Distribution-Date: 20031203
      
      Author:  Joao Pedro Azevedo, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK
      Support: email [email protected]

However, when I estimate the logit model and use the test I get the following output and error message:


. mlogit overed  female noneng nonaust if year == 2009, vce (robust)

Could anyone please advise on what is causing the error message, and how I may resolve thi?
