I am currently working on a paper (with the help of Professor Nathaniel Beck)I've
been trying to run Amelia for my data base, but it keeps crashing and giving me the
following expression:
C:\GAUSS\SRC\SORTMC.SRC(89) : error G0057 : Procedure stack overflow - expression too
complex
Currently active call: SORTMC [89]
By taking a look at the Amelia page, I took note of what others have done but things do
not seem to improve here.
My data is composed of 66 variables with a lot of missings as well as ordinal and nominal
variables, which tend to be those for which there is full information. After trying that
data base, I decided to reduce it to 29 variables (I do not think I can go any lower). The
data is mostly from the World Bank, but it also includes some variables from
Przeworski's data and Profesor Bueno de Mesquita's data base. I suspect the
problem is the huge amount of missingness (total of obs is supposed to be 7500 and for
some variables there are only 1500-2000 obs). I really do not know how to proceed from
here. If you have any suggestion, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Beforehand, I want to say thank you for the help you can provide me.
Yours
