Calibrationbelt error message mm_integrate_38() function required

[Camila Hidalgo]

Hi,

Trying to run the calibrationbelt command I get an error message stating that the function mm_integrate_38() from the package -moremata- is required.

The relevant article states 'The second way to use calibrationbelt is after fitting a logistic regression model (using either the logit or logistic command). In this case, it is possible to simply run calibrationbelt without specifying the argument varlist or any other option. The command automatically considers the dependent variable and the predictions of the logistic regression fit as the arguments to be used', and does not mention the mm_integrate_38() function (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf...867X1801700414).

I guess I must be missing something, might anyone be able to help?

Thank you

Using Stata 15.1

Code:
// RUN logit

Iteration 0: log likelihood = -448.47411
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -382.91372
Iteration 2: log likelihood = -382.2601
Iteration 3: log likelihood = -382.25663
Iteration 4: log likelihood = -382.25663

Logistic regression Number of obs = 676
LR chi2(23) = 132.43
Prob > chi2 = 0.0000
Log likelihood = -382.25663 Pseudo R2 = 0.1477

Dear Camilda,

Can you check your version, using:

which calibrationbelt
*!1.4 calibrationbelt

Is it 1.4?

[Camila Hidalgo]

Dear Eric,

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, no version is shown when I check:

. which calibrationbelt
C:-------------------\Stata\c\calibrationbelt.ado

.

// I then thought the issue may be in how I tried to install the package, so I started again with 'search calibrationbelt' to 'package installation':

package name: gr0071.pkg
from: http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj17-4/

checking gr0071 consistency and verifying not already installed...
all files already exist and are up to date.


I am using a remote desktop to my University, while I hadn't had any issues installing other packages, I do wonder if this may be part of the problem?

Thanks again,

Camila

Dear Camila,

It is rather difficult to give advise as I cannot replicate your problem without access to your data.
I assume that you have installed on your remote desktop.
What you can do is open the ado file from the folder where your system has installed that. You can check for this location from within Stata by using the command:

sysdir

What you should look for is the path reported by PLUS: in Stata's result window.
Below that, in the folder ..\c you should find the file calibrationbelt.ado
When you open this ado file, using a text editor or by using Stata's do-file editor, I expect the following in the first lines of the file:

/****************************/
/* Calibration Belt Program */
/****************************/

/********************/
/* Giovanni Nattino */
/*   Version 1.4    */
/********************/

If that is the case, well, at least we are then certain that you are using the current version (that runs without issues on my system).

Furthermore, I would again check for the last version of moremata, using:

ssc install moremata, replace

You wrote in #1 that you are using the last version, but, better be certain of that (again).

Another 'system cleaning' excersize would be to run a full ado update, using:

ado update, update

which will not only update all ado packages present on your system but also remove older version of these should these still be located somewhere (unnecessarily).
Sometimes conflicts occur when user made packages use older versions of other user made packages.
Possibly this might be occuring when you are using the calibrationbelt command on your system.

Dear Eric,

Thank you so much for your help.

I used:

. adopath

Then opened the folder, but opening the ado file did not result in what you suggested so I then deleted the calibrationbelt.ado and .sthlp files to subsequently

. sysdir set PLUS C:\----------

. ssc install moremata, replace

. search calibrationbelt

checking gr0071 consistency and verifying not already installed...
installing into C:\---------
installation complete.

//RUN logit

. calibrationbelt
