invalid syntax error with long variable names in -over()- option
problem description
Using long variables names in the over()
option may result in an invalid syntax error when combined with COT options.
Tracing suggests that mpitb estcot
produces this error: expected coefficients from level estimates cannot be found because column names of estimates have been abbreviated.
work around
choose shorter name for subgroup variable (e.g., region
works fine).
related questions
- can very long variable names for the subgroup variable cause errors without COT options, as well? If so, presumably
mpitb stores
would issue a similar error.
