Dear list,
When I try using cem in Stata 10,* *I get the error* "*no variables
defined in option treatment(), r(111);" even though my syntax looks fine.
(My command was "cem AGCYTYPE POPULATION region lblackproportion, tr
(POLYEXAM).") The website <http://gking.harvard.edu/cem/> indicates it
works in version 10.
When I try using it in Stata 12, I think the program gets a little farther.
But I still get the error "cem_weights not found" after the commands:
cem AGCYTYPE POPULATION region lblackproportion, tr (POLYEXAM)
reg lblackproportion POLYEXAM YP YEAR [iweight=cem_weights]
Any ideas how to troubleshoot? My best guess is that I skipped important
pre-cem steps and the program is protesting that sort of human error.
Perhaps the matched N (672) is too small and so I should simulate more data
to produce more matches?
Many thanks,
Katelyn
