st: regression using generalized linear model

[Aidan Trung Nguyen <aidant@mit.edu>]

I'm trying to write the STATA equivalent of the followingSAS statement:

proc glm data=datasetclass a b model x = v*y*y    u*u    t    a*b
weight w
output out = outputdataset 


a is a string character
b, x, v, y, u, t are numeric
u contains non integer and negative values

I tried the below command but without success:anova x  v*y*y   u*u  t   a*b 

error message : factor variables may not contain non integervalues Any guidance is much appreciated. Thanks.
