-xtbalance- is from 2008 - very old; further, you did not use as directed in the help file (e.g., there should not be a space between "range" and "("; I'm not sure what you mean by a "threshold model" - what command do you want to use; the vast majority (maybe all) panel data models in Stata do not require balanced data; if you really do require, you might look at

help tsfill
help fillin

you don't say in what way your data are unbalanced so ...

Dear Goldstein

thnanks for your intervention

for the threshold model the command is "xthreg"

when i run it, i get that msg " need balanced panel" even i have " strongly balanced data

[Rich Goldstein]

clearly I don't have your data to try; I note, however, that you have a space between "qx" and "(" which you should not have; second, a quick look at the ado file makes it clear that this message can be given if there are missing data for any of your variables that unbalance your data - do you have any such missing data? -misstable- might help here

hello Dear Goldstein

yeah there are missing data
i correct it but here i have other wrong messege
with stata14.2 always i get " unknown egen function ".
Like here, even i did not use that " sd()" function,
