A mata question: when I use the function affinity() [code below]
I get the results I expect, but the colon comparison operations
result in the resulting matrix being written to the Stata results
window [quite a nuisance for logging purposes]. Any thoughts why
this happens?

Thanks!
Tom

real colvector affinity(real rowvector ai, real matrix aj, real 
rowvector sd) {
   real matrix aij, upper, lower

   aij = J(rows(aj), 1, 0)
   upper = J(rows(aj), cols(aj), 0)
   lower = J(rows(aj), cols(aj), 0)

   upper = aj
   printf("upper has %4.0g columns and %9.0g rows\n", cols(upper), 
rows(upper))

   lower = aj

   // These two operations print out the entire resulting matrix to the 
screen
   upper:<= ai+sqrt(sd)
   lower:>= ai-sqrt(sd)

   upper:& lower

   aij = rowsum(upper)
   printf("aij has %4.0g columns and %9.0g rows\n", cols(aij), rows(aij))
   return(aij)
}
