I want to draw the relative transition path graph by using command rtranpath, however in the options
against(varname) a dummy variable specifies the cross sections used
as benchmarks; required*
I don't understand what is the dummy variable here?

Does anyone know how to draw the transition path graph and also get the convergence rate for each club?
Many thanks!

Hi. How are you?.

I am using the Phillips and Sul (2007) technique for convergence test and club identification for my PhD research. I'm new to Stata.

I have found the following error "command pfilter is unrecognized". What it means?. See the image below.

Could someone please help me?

Nick Cox in a previous comment you cited the same error. I don't know what the solution is. Can you help?.

Thanks in advance.

I have to guess that I want to say whatever it was I said before. I don't know what is unclear to you from previous posts in this thread. but pfilter is community-contributed and must be installed before you can use it.

search pfilter

in your Stata will lead to clickable links.

I want to draw the relative transition path graph by using command rtranpath, however I received this answer "command rtranpath is unrecognized". Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Noor, rtranpath is a user-contributed command and must be installed first. You can search for it using

search rtranpath

And then looking for it in what is returned.
