Thank you Joseph for the detailed codes. I tried, but STATA gives me the error message 1m2 invalid name. 

. clear
. set more off
. set linesize 80
. webuse childweight
(Weight data on Asian children)
. xi i.girl*age
i.girl            _Igirl_0-1          (naturally coded; _Igirl_0 omitted)
i.girl*age        _IgirXage_#         (coded as above)
. generate byte k = 1
. eq cons: k
. eq age: age
. gllamm weight age _Igirl_1 _IgirXage_1, i(id) nrf(2) eqs(cons age) family(gaus
> sian) link(log) adapt nolog
1m2 invalid name

Please let me know if I have miss something. Thank you very much!

Wensheng

Thank you for the suggetion of log link and gllamm. I am new to gllamm. The
following is the error message when I was trying gllamm. Please let me know how
should I fix that. Thank you very much!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The user-written command -gllamm- pre-dates the introduction of factor variables
in Stata, and so it doesn't recognize the factor-variable syntax that you typed.
Prior to factor variables, Stata used the command -xi- to manually create
regression terms for categorical variables and their interactions.  The command
-xi- is still around for use with those commands that do not allow
factor-variable notation.  I show its use with -gllamm- below for the model that
you tried to fit.

Your syntax for -gllamm- seems to be some kind of hodgepodge of that for
-xtmixed- and -gllamm-.  As others have mentioned, you're probably better off
referring to the user's manual for -gllamm-, which can be downloaded from the
website shown in the command's help file.
