I am analyzing a panel dataset with year dummies over a period of 2000-2018 and
apparently like many other Stata beginners, I came across the issue of (V_b-V_B is not positive definite) when using Hausman test to determine whether to use the FE or RE model.
I tried to follow suggestions of using xtoverid and after installing the package, I encountered the following issue:
Code:
. xtoverid
2b:  operator invalid
r(198);Notes: I already tried
Code:
hausman fe re, sigmamore
hausman fe re, sigmalessCode:
 ** Redo HAUSMAN test to check for RE or FE model
