Jingjing,
good to hear that the example now works for you. Without having gone
through all of your code, there are a few problems that I spotted. I
will first point those out, and then show you how you can debug your
program in Stata.
> tempname at att blt bkt bmt bet
> scalar `ai'=`at'[1,16]
> scalar `aii'=`at'[1,17]
Here, you declare tempnames at and att, and then use ai and aii for
your scalars. Later on, you appear to use t and att. Therefore, this
is not going to work (the names have to be the same). In addition, you
already have an option called at in your program. I advise to use ai
and aii for your scalars to avoid confusion. Therefore, change it to
tempname ai aii blt bkt bmt bet
scalar `ai'=`at'[1,16]
scalar `aii'=`at'[1,17]
and also replace all instances of `t' with `ai', and all instances of
`att' with `aii'. Please note that I haven't checked any of the other
scalars for consistency.
The next problem comes at the end of your program, within the -quietly
{ }- part. There, you need to change
> replace lnc =
to
replace `lnc' =
(note the single quotes). The same holds for the following two lines,
where you have to change sl to `sl', sk to `sk' and sm to `sm'.
Maybe we have found all mistakes, and the program will run. If not,
here is how you can figure out what's going wrong. First, create
copies of your four dependent variables lnc, sl, sk, and sm :
****
foreach x of varlist lnc sl sk sm {
gen c_`x' = `x'
}
****
Next, call your program directly (without -nlsur-):
****
matrix a = J(1,61,0)
set trace on
nlsurweb c_lnc c_sl c_sk c_sm lnpl lnpk lnpm lnpe lnq t d1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6, at(a)
****
The -trace- output will show you where exactly the problem is.
Good luck,
Eva
