GLM diagnostics -glmdiag-

[Nikos Korompos]

Hi,

I have two questions:

(a) I found a do file (http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/dgimhsr/stat-cstanal.htm), which allows me to run some GLM diagnostics. I ran the do file, then the GLM, and then the command glmdiag.

STATA mentions this: . glmdiag
==0 invalid name
r(198);

Do you have any suggestions? I cannot find the problem.

(b)I tried to use this ado file, however I am not very familiar with this concept. I used -mkdir- to create a personal folder for the ado files. Could you please let me know what is the process after this? I copied the ado file to the new folder (manually), I then ran the GLM and the -glmdiag- command. But stata reported this:

glmdiag
==0 invalid name
r(198);

What do you suggest?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Nikos

do NOT make your own folders; see "h sysdir" (and the accompanying manual entry)

Thank you Rich. I had made it, based on the path provided by the sysdir command, as you said. But it didn't work.

You need to predict fitted values after your glm command.

Thus:
glm dep_var ind_var,family() link()
predict p1,mu
glmdiag
