Dear Statalist members
I am trying to estimate a Stochastic Frontier model using the user written command sfpanel, by Belotti et al (2012). Unfortunately I am getting the following error message:
<istmt>: 3499 _starting_values_cs() not found
r(3499);
I got the same error when I tried to run the examples provided in the help file of the command.
After a search on the internet I found the following link on the Statalist archives offering a solution to the problem.
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archi.../msg00299.html
I followed the steps provided by the author of the command, but it did not solve my problem. More specifically I used the following commands and I got the respective errors:
ado, find(sfcross) - Did not return anything in the Stata results window
ado uninstall sfpanel and ado uninstall cross - package not found
ssc unistall sfcross and ssc unistall sfpanel - ssc: unistall: invalid subcommand
ssc install sfpanel, replace and ssc install sfcross, replace - Returns that all files already exist and are up to date
Please note that I am using Stata 13.1
Any help is appreciated
