Yes, I use the latest version of -rd-. I also use the right syntax, i.e.
bootstrap, reps(1999): rd outcome Z, n(50)

The help file, refs, and prior posts make clear that the assignment
variable Z should always appear last in the variable list:
bootstrap, rep(200) : rd Y Z
Are you using the latest version?
ssc inst rd, replace

sorry... -rd- stands for regression discontinuity and is a user written

I have the following problem.
I use the -rd- command to estimate a local effect of (a treatment) X on
outcomes Y (several ouotcomes, some binary and some continous) at Z=0 in
the following way:
bootstrap, rep(200) : rd Y X, n(50)
where X=1 if Z>=0 and X=0 if Z<0.
Z takes the values: -12 , -11.5, -11, .... ,-0.5, 0, 0.5, 1, ...,12
Around the cut-off value I have 15-20 observations in each category of Z.
When I run the command I get a lot of bootstrap replications that fail
(red X). This is more so for binary outcomes! I also tried to use
-bootstrap, strata(Z) rep(200)- but the problem remains.
Can someone explain what I do wrong?
