In a recent Stata update, a tolerance was changed that impacts whether
a variable is dropped because of collinearity. An updated version of
Stata drops the cubic term from the model that is illustrated on page 39.
To avoid this, use yrborn40 instead of yrborn, yielding
. regress educ c.yrborn40##c.yrborn40##c.yrborn40 To make this model consistent with those shown on page 38, also change yrborn to yrborn40 for the models shown on page 38. The surrounding text remains correct, including the references to the R-squared values. |
