Panel quantile regression -(qregpd) invalid arate(.5) error

[kwenga loic]

Good evening every one i am performing this model :

* Régression quantile en panel avec effets fixes non additifs et instruments
forvalues i = 10(10)90 {
local tau = `i'/100
qregpd LTFR DC_c LGDP LIMR UP LFLF KAOPEN DC2_cc, quantile(`tau') id(id) fix(year) optimize(mcmc) noisy draws(1000) burn(100), arate(.5) instruments(L.DC_c L.LGDP L.LIMR L.UP L.LFLF L.KAOPEN L.DC2_cc)
}

The issue is that i keep getting this issue: invalid arate(.5)
Can some please help

You must pay attention to the rules of Stata syntax. Get rid of the comma that precedes -arate(.5)- and you should be OK.
