RE: st: nldecompose and svy subpopulation

[meenakshi beri <berimeenakshi@hotmail.com>]

Thanks a lot Steve!

I am sorry about the inconvenience. I used -findit nldecompose- and  installed st0152_1 package.

Yes, you are right. My subpopulation specification was wrong. However, even after changing the subpop() specification as suggested, it still gives me an error whereas the code runs perfectly if I use svy regression without subpopulation specification. My logic is whether svy subpopulation works with nldecompose or not(Probably it runs with svy commands only, and not with the svy subpop)?

----------------------------------------------------
nldecompose, by(female) bs bsoptions(reps(100)) regoutput: svy, subpop(sample_oaxaca) : logit x y z, or

r(101)
factor variables and time-series operators not allowed

Meenakshi
