Dear statalisters,
I calculate transition probabilities (multiplied by 100) for a variable
"per" using Nick Cox's -xttrans2- command (for information type -ssc
describe xttrans2-).
When specifying the -prob- option, the following error occurs:
. xttrans2 per, prob
matcell() required
When I include the matcell option, the following error occurs:
. xttrans2 per, prob matcell(T)

1: operator invalid
r(198);
The displayed numbers are still frequencies but not probabilities. The
matrix T contains the same values (frequencies) as displayed in the
output. Does someone have an idea what I am doing wrong when using the -
xttrans2- command?
Thank you very much,
Falko Juessen.
