Question on oaxaca_rif

[Ying Xu]

I have a problem with the command oaxaca_rif.

When I run the following code, it works well:
oaxaca_rif outstand_liability own edu employ has_ccard has_overdraft wealth income (type:normalize(dtype_*)) (Country:normalize(dcountry_*)) [pweight=weight],rif(gini) relax by(APP) swap w(1)

But if I add cluster, there report an error:
oaxaca_rif outstand_liability own edu employ has_ccard has_overdraft wealth income (type:normalize(dtype_*)) (Country:normalize(dcountry_*)) [pweight=weight],rif(gini) relax by(APP) swap w(1) cluster(id)

non ambiguous abbreviation
r(111);

It is very strange because I do not have any variable named "non". And previously (maybe one year ago) the line with cluster worked, but then now the same code is not working.

I have downloaded the latest version of "rif" package and I am using STATA SE 16.

Does anyone have any clues why this could happen? Many thanks in advance for the help!!

I cannot reproduce the error
do you think you can make a reproducible example that I can check out?

Thank you

Dear Fernando,

Thanks for your reply. Something magic happened.

I was trying to create a sub-dataset for you, so I took only those variables used in this regression out from the original dataset (with several hundred variables). And I run the same code for this very small dataset (less than 50 variables). The code with "cluster" works perfectly! But if I go back to my original huge dataset, the same code still reports the same error.

I could not find the reason...But anyway, now I can use this subset to generate the results I want. So, problem solved!

Many thanks again!

Best,
Ying
