  • How to solve Stata errors related to xblc postestimation for fractional polynomials dose-response meta-analysis

    I am undertaking a dose-response meta-analysis using fractional polynomial regression model.
    Below is the command I used

    mfp: regress logrr dose [aweight=wt], vce(robust)

    *dose refers the exposure variable and ranges between 3.6 to 96.2 (both integer and decimals).
    *Afer the xblc command, I have got error messages

    capture drop pa rr lb ub
    quietly levelsof dose, local(levels)
    quietly xblc Idose__1, covname(dose) at(`r(levels)') reference(3) eform line

    The first error message is:
    value 4 of dose not observed
    r(198);

    While the second one is below but it comes after the dose level of 9 (after I removed all from 3.6 to 9 as recommended by the above stata error message).
    estimates post: matrix has missing values
    r(504);

    Please, assist me to solve these errors.

    I thank you for your great support.

    Sincerely
    Nigussie
