<istmt>: 3499 gigs_ipolate_coeffs() not found

[suarezidueta]

Hi,
I am trying to calculate centiles from values using the extended version gigs-stata

I have tried to calculate these centiles using weight_kg and gest_days in numeric and sex as string, int or byte as follows.

egen centiles2 = ig_nbs (weight_kg, "wfga", "v2c"), gest_days(gest_days) sex(sex3) sexcode(m=1, f=2) extend

egen centiles4 = ig_nbs (weight_kg, "wfga", "v2c"), gest_days(gest_days) sex(sex_int) sexcode(m="Male", f="Female") extend

egen centiles4 = ig_nbs (weight_kg, "wfga", "v2c"), gest_days(gest_days) sex(sex_byte) sexcode(m=1, f=2) extend

In all cases, I get this comment (which I did not get using the previous version)

: 3499 gigs_ipolate_coeffs() not found

I have tried reinstalling gigs-Stata, and all ado files are in the same file as my data, but it is not working yet.

May you please help me to fix this?

Your advice will be highly appreciated,
Lorena

Hi Lorena,

As a first step, I'd recommend removing all the gigs-related .ado files from your working directory first. Once you install gigs, it should be available in your Stata PLUS directory with other ado-files from the internet - so Stata will be able to 'see' that gigs is installed without you moving the ado-files to your working directory.

Can you remove the gigs .ado files from your working directory, reinstall the package again, then let me know if you still get errors?

Separately, to get slightly more precise results, I'd recommend doing egen double <varname> = ... so your results aren't the default float format.

Thanks so much for your time, Simon, the code is working now

Best wishes,
