nwcommands question: nwhierarchy

[Jonathan Horowitz]

I'm using nwhierarchy as part of Thomas Grund's nwcommands package. I am using something like this command:

nwhierarchy foo, context(both) type(euclidean) linkage(singlelinkage)

I get a 3499 error message stating:
<istmt>: 3499 euclidean_dissimilarity() not found

-nwsummarize foo- returns information about the network in question. Does anyone have a good reason why this is happening? I know it has something to do with mata, and something to do with the nwdissimilar command (nwhierarchy is a combination of the nwdissimilar and cluster linkage commands).

That being a Mata error message, what you found sure looks like a bug in the Mata code, or in what is passed to it, so I don't think "reason" applies here. I think you'll have to report this as a bug to the author of -nwcommands-, so you should keep your reproducible data example for the author to work with. I would not even be sure that you can access the Mata code to see if you could figure out the bug yourself.
