Human opportunity index

Hi,
I am trying to apply below mentioned HOI syntax on education data to check inequality of opportunity in education across different socio-religious categories. while running the syntax I am not getting the desired results. Also same results are showing despite changing independent variables

Am I doing something wrong.

. ssc install hoi

all files already exist and are up to date.

. ssc install indeplist

. hoi elementary_crnt_atdns ( urban male )

You should add a commas (,) between the syntax and options, and leave no space between shapley and left bracket (.

hoishapley elementary_age_6_13, shapley( urban male)

[Suhail Mir]

Thank You Chen for your response. I am getting the below error while applying the code ''hoishapley elementary_age_6_13, shapley( urban male)''

unrecognized command: catenate
r(199);

. hoishapley elementary_age_6_13, shapley( urban male )
unrecognized command: catenate
r(199);


. hoishapley elementary_age_6_13, shapley( urban male)
unrecognized command: catenate
r(199);

. hoishapley elementary_age_6_13, shapley( urban male )
unrecognized command: catenate

In the help file of -hoishapley- command, you will find a note in the end that said:

Please note that hoishapley uses the user written packages catenate on its calculations. User's can download it from ssc.

so you can just install -catenate- before running hoishapley.

ssc install catenate

Chen is right. Well, that's one more download for the author of catenate and I know he's not complaining. But, but, but: This is what it says on the package description:

catenate generates a new string variable by concatenating
varlist. The variables in varlist may be string or numeric. Note
added 2004: this package was written for Stata 5 and is now
superseded by egen, concat() in up-to-date Statas.

The author of hoishapley really didn't need to use catenate or to oblige his users to download it too.

Thank You Chen. It worked perfectly fine. Much appreciated.

Thank you Nick for your inputs.
