Installing pantob// Where to save the mlib file

[Jay Rege]

Hi,

I want to run a fixed effects tobit regression.
Therefore I would like to use the pantob command.
Unfortunatley the command is not available via ssc or ansthing else like net or findit.
Therefore I tried to use the files from http://www.princeton.edu/~honore/stata/
However I´m unable to run the program, since I do not save the mlib file in the specific folder.
Following the instruction on the Website I saved the mlib file in the folder C:\ado. Is that correct? Or should I use the Stata Folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Stata14\ado ??
Strangly
Stata is able to describe the mlib file
mata: mata describe using lpantob.mlib
(library contains 5 members)


# bytes type name and extent
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1,424 auto void bo_fct0()
2,960 auto void bo_fct1()
2,424 auto void bo_fct2()
4,684 auto void pantob_boots()
7,368 auto void pantobmata()

However, after using the pantob Regression command, it responses with
<istmt>: 3499 pantobmata() not found
r(3499);

Thanks for your Support!

try to type mata mata mlib index

It is not a requirement, but I would place there programs in \ado\personal\.

Ok thanks, I think now I found it, however I´m not quite sure why.
Anyway, now I´m receivin the error message
Just to let everyone else know, I got another Problem and the error message was

something went wrong with sorting the data
estimates post: matrix has missing values

, which was quite confusing for me
That was due to a string variable as fixed effect identifier.
So just use encode and the Problem should be solved.
Thanks again Christophe!
