Dear Statalisters:
For some reason I cannot get -by- to work with -binreg-. I can get around
the problem using -if-, but according to the manual I should be able to use
-by-. Here is my log:

. table pre_post sex, c(mean q7cat)

     post |       .6  .6296296

* Both sexes together
. binreg q7cat pre_post, rd cluster(id)

Iteration 1 : deviance =  570.9529
Iteration 2 : deviance =  570.9529

Residual df  =       423                                No. of obs =
425
Pearson X2   =       425                                Deviance   =

So in this case -regress- works with -by-, but -binreg- does not. I also
have sex as a numeric variable, but that doesn't alleviate the non-working
-by- (NPI). Any ideas?

Lee
