Radf command does not run (error 3499)

[Rob de Jong]

Hi all,

I am trying to run a GSADF test through the radf command in Stata 16. I keep getting this error after transforming my panel data into multiple time series. It should work. I keep getting this error

Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks,.

Hi, im getting the same error. Did you by any chance figure it out?

[Nick Cox]

radf is from SSC. As documented it requires installation of moremata from SSC too.

ssc desc radf

Thank you so much.

ssc desc radf

I'm getting this error message.

I was wondering what could be the issue?

[Raymond James]

Now I am getting this error message with the following commands (I only have one variable called crudeoilaverage).

generate t = tm(1960m1) + _n - 1
format t %tm
tsset t
ssc install radf
ssc install moremata
radf crudeoilaverage, maxlag(1)

Any idea what might be wrong here?

[Justin Niakamal]

Perhaps try uninstalling and reinstalling radf and moremata. Or add , replace to the ssc calls.

I cannot replicate your problem, but I’m using Stata 16.1 on a Mac. Lastly, try this to see if the issue is specific to your data

// Spot Crude Oil Price
import delimited using "https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WTISPLC/downloaddata/WTISPLC.csv", clear
 
gen month = mofd(date(date, "YMD"))
format month %tm
tsset month
 
radf value, maxlag(1)

Hi all,
I am getting the same error message though I re uninstalled all the packages and re installed them. Did anyone else use the radf command please?
Best,

Hello Sabrina and Rob de Jong;

If you write "ssc install radf" to stata command place then you will see a message saying that "the installation is completed".
But unfortunately it is not true.
There is somthing wrong with installation so that some files could not install after the command use.

Do For full radf installation pls follow below instruction steps one by one:

1-) http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/r/ go to this link
2-) then find from the list and then copy these 3 files named as "radf.mtx" , "rsadf.mtx" and lastly "rgsadf.mtx" directly to your pc in this target file "c:\ado\plus/r/"
(these are unfortunately missing files for installation of ssc install radf command, probably a mistake was occur during installiton.

3-) Then open you "xxxxxxx.dta" file
4-) use tsset comand for time series
5-) then use radf command.

After all you will see that radf is working regularly.


I hope these information is enough for you.
Best regards.
