e with rocreg

[maja thiele]

In Stata 14 I am not able to use the rocreg command. Trying for a bootstrapped or nonparametric model:
rocreg refvar classvar, noboot
I get the r(198) error message: "ml must be specified if display options are specified". I've also tryed with probit bseed() - same error.

If I try the ml model:
rocreg refvar classvar, probit ml
I get another r(198) error message: "option baselevels not allowed"

My refvar is a binary yes-no variable, while the classvar is a continuous variable. The code have worked for me before in previous stata versions. Any ideas?

There is an existing bug with -rocreg- that causes -rocreg- to not work if you -set showbaselevels on-. In the following code, note how the first instance of -rocreg- produces an error. Once you -set showbaselevels off-, the command works fine,



* begin code *

set showbaselevels on

rocreg disease rating, probit ml



set showbaselevels off

rocreg disease rating, probit ml

* end code *



Please issue the -set showbaselevels off- command and then re-run the

-rocreg- command. As a side note, we are working on this bug, and will provide a fix for this in a future update.
