I am getting the error: convergence not achieved and I don't know why.
I am using this command:
Code:
local controls "fs ihs_lev rdi pcount" xtnbreg ccit cvcie1 `controls' i.fyear, fe
Code:
. local controls "fs ihs_lev rdi pcount"
.
. xtnbreg ccit cvcie1 `controls' i.fyear, fe
note: 5 groups (46 obs) dropped because of all zero outcomes

convergence not achieved
r(430);
end of do-fileI am getting this error only by adding "pcount" to my controls.
But it makes sense to test for it in my analysis.
I hope you can help me

Thank you
Kind regards,
Jana
