Re: st: suest mlogit equation not found error

[Fernando Rios Avila <f.rios.a@gmail.com>]

Hi Natalia,
I haven't personally done a Chow test using an Mlogit model, however I
believe the right syntax is:
 mlogit Y x1 x2 x3 if period==0, base (0)
 est store model1
 mlogit Y x1 x2 x3 if period==1, base (0)
 est store model2

 suest model1 model2
 test [ model1_mean=mode2_mean]

Look at example 2 of the -suest- help file.
