I am working with survey data that would benefit greatly from multiple imputations. I have used the Amelia software to generate 5 imputed datasets. However, I am having difficulty availing myself of the benefits of the Clarify program. I would be very grateful if you could answer some questions about the process and diagnose an error message that I am receiving.
Question #1. I began by uploading my original dataset into STATA. I was able to run my logit models, but the listwise deletion was a problem. I then tried to see how things looked with the multiple imputations. Can I start with my original dataset with the missing values, or must I begin with one of the imputed datasets? Although I could run a logit model with my original dataset, I was unable to run one using one of the imputed datasets.
Question #2. After uploading the five imputed datasets into STATA memory, I typed the following into the command line:
estsimp logit influ gender age edu ideology deepsouth mayrad distelec ncounc blkperc quality distblk distmon, mi (B:/amelia1.dta B:/amelia2.dta B:/amelia3.dta B:/amelia4.dta B:/amelia5.dta)
STATA responded as follows:
Estimation number : 1 of 5
Dataset being used: B:/amelia1.dta
(Written by R. )
r(2000);
This error message is explained by STATA in the following way:
Return code 2000
no observations;
You have requested some statistical calculation and there are
no observations on which to perform it. Perhaps you specified
if exp or in range and inadvertently filtered all the data.
Thanks in advance for helping me address these issues. I am very grateful for your time and your assistance. I can be reached at g-neddenriep(a)neiu.edu <mailto:g-neddenriep@neiu.edu> .

How do you use a regression equation generated from one independent set of data to create predicted probabilities for another independent set of data with the same variables? Essentially I would like to "save" the regression equation from my first dataset to predict for another dataset from a different year. Is this possible? Please excuse me if this information is on the website but I have been having difficulty while attempting to execute this particular task.
Thank you for your help

Thank you. Fixing the 'a' allowed it to run through the loop. However, now I am having trouble graphing the results. I have stata 10 and tried to set it back to stata 7 as per one of the earlier post but it did not work. My "y axis" lines up at -1 to 1, the same as my x-axis. This is the code I used for the graph as p:
sort xaxis
graph plo phi xaxis, s(ii) c(||)
I get nothing when I include the s and c terms. If I exclude those terms, I just get the plo and the phi concentrated at the 1 value on the y axis. Thanks much. Amy
I am having difficulty graphing my results in Clarify.
I have tried various versions of code. What I what to do is first have on the xaxis are ideology scores going from -1 to 1. I am doing a pooled logit with a large number of observations and I want to analyze vote choice based on ideology and region.
Here is my code. I tried various iterations of this and it keeps telling me "a is an invalid name"
estsimp logit vote core ideology1
generate plo = .
generate phi = .
generate xaxis = _n -2 in 1/2 (I alternatively tried putting the number of observations in here which is 69000).
setx core 1
local a = -1
while `a' <= 1 (I have also tried this with other numbers) {
setx ideology1 'a'
simqi, prval(1) genpr(pi)
_pctile pi, p(2.5,97.5)
replace plo = r(r1) if xaxis==`a'
replace phi = r(r2) if xaxis==`a'
drop pi
local a = `a' - 1 (I have also tried this with +1)
}
Thank you for your assistance.
Hi -
I'm trying to create a predicted probability graph that includes confidence
intervals with data simulated with Clarify. Using the instructions from the
Clarify manual about how to recreate the graphs from the 2001 AJPS article,
I'm having some trouble in part b/c I think that the graphing commands in
the manual are somewhat different than the ones that Stata 10 uses.
What I need to know is what the right Stata 10 command is after "graph" in
the original instructions that will give me a line graph with confidence
intervals. Right now I'm using the "lfit" command (see my code below) but
that isn't right.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Here are the instructions from the Clarify manual to create a graph with 99%

generate plo = .
generate phi = .
generate ageaxis = _n + 17 in 1/78
setx educate 12 white 1 income mean
local a = 18
while `a' <= 95 {
setx age `a' agesqrd (`a'^2)/100
simqi, prval(1) genpr(pi)
_pctile pi, p(2.5,97.5)
replace plo = r(r1) if ageaxis==`a'
replace phi = r(r2) if ageaxis==`a'
drop pi
local a = `a' + 1
}
sort ageaxis
graph plo phi ageaxis, s(ii) c(||)
Here is the code that I'm using from my data.
estsimp regress index02 Ideology pid AvgTV02_hat newspaper02_hat if

Hay all-
I've see this issue addressed in a few previous posts, but I'm still unclear.
The long and short of my situation is that I did full matching in R. I
need to use ordered logit for my analysis, but as of right now Zelig
does not support the use of weights. So, I performed the analysis in
Stata with Clarify. The models come out fine, but I can't generate
substantive interpretations of the coefficients becuase simqi does not
appear to support the use of weights when generating predicted
probabilities.
Thoughts?
Best,
