Re: st: bayesmlogit

Hi Nick,

Thank you very much for your reply.
The command did not return r(2000) after I encoded the variables, so
your guess was spot on.

It did return an error for variable overflow r(1400), but I know that
is a totally different issue.

I am relatively new to Stata, so I apologize if I violated some code
of conduct or failed to supply appropriate reference in my previous
message.

In that regard, I would like to supplement my previous message with
the reference to the package I used to run the command

package bayesmlogit from http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/b

Once again, thank you very much.

Best,
Milena
