Hi,
I am new to mata, and I'm replicating an old code that uses it. Unfortunately, I'm getting the errors `invalid lval r(3000)` after the assignment of elements x, x1, estvcov and estmean (lines 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 14, 15 of the code below). I understand this error appears when the element is not an lval (https://www.stata.com/manuals13/m-2op_assignment.pdf). However, all of the following items should be matrices, and so I do not understand why this error appears. (Note that simvalues1 and simvalues2 are also matrices).
Would highly appreciate any help!
Thanks.
