Welcome to Statalist.

You have accidentally posted your topic in Statalist's Mata Forum, which is used for discussions of Stata's Mata language. Your question will see a much larger audience if you post it in Statalist's General Forum.

Also, if you have not already done so, take a look at the Statalist FAQ linked to at the top of this page for posting guidelines and suggestions.

In particular, since the igrowup_restricted command is a user-written extension to Stata, and is not one findable through Stata's search command, you will want to follow the advice of the FAQ and tell your reader what this command is, and where to learn more about it. I found documentation on the web at

http://www.who.int/childgrowth/softw...adme_stata.pdf

and if that is the correct source of information about the command, you should share that link in your post. That will allow members to compare what igrowup_restricted does to other user-written programs that have similar capabilities.
