Dear Statalisters,
first, apologies for my rudimentary understanding of Stata as I only recently started using it. I am working with an unbalanced panel dataset of monthly observations over the horizon of 10 years. For each month, I would like to run a logit regression and subsequently obtain the predictive probabilities across a grid of the independent variable. To speed things up, I would like to parallelize the job using George Vega's and Brian Quistorff's parallel package.
Unfortunately, I obtain the following error message:
All hints that I found suggest that observations - or the complete dataset - are missing (not passed through the parallel command?). Does anyone know what may be wrong?
This is my code which I adopted from http://www.statalist.org/forums/foru...setting-memory.
The defined program itself works and does its job without the parallel command, i.e. using:
My first try placing the self-written program into a for-loop within a separate do-file, and then calling parallel do "filename" failed, due to the unbalanced nature of the dataset I suspect.
Thank you very much for any advice!
