Hello all. I'm a professor at Baldwin Wallace. On Thursday, I tried to run a lab with my class from Pollock's Stata Companion (Chapter 6) to compare means. This lab runs fine in Stata v. 15, but it will not run in Stata v. 16.
This is the command
lincom [egal_scale]Male - [egal_scale]Female
It runs perfectly fine in Stata 15, which I have on my home computer (see below).
When I run it in Stata 16, I get an error message that says the variable was not recognized as an equation. All my students ran into this problem, too.
Needless to say, it was a little embarrassing, and 'googling' the error isn't doing the trick.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
