Tried that as well:
. // specify the model
. ml model lf mynormal_lf ///
> (mu: xi: mpg = weight displacement foreign i.rep78) ///
> (ln_sigma: xi: i.rep78)
variable xi not found
r(111);
but Stata 9.2 clearly doesn't like where -xi:- is placed in this code.
Oh well, I'll generate the dummies myself.
