Re: st: RE: limit on IVs for multiple regression

[Jim.Seward@sunhealth.org]

When I enter the first line, I get the error message:
     unrecognized command  _grmissing

What does this mean?

Thanks,

Are IVs so-called independent variables or instrumental
variables?

Whatever: r(2000) means "no observations". I guess that
something else is biting, principally any
missing values.

One way to find out is

. egen nmiss = rmissing(<varlist>)
. count if nmiss == 0
