Mr. O'Halloran. The name of your PDS variable, "ID" suggests
you are not setting up the count variable correctly. You can't
use an ID as a count variable - the count has to give the number
of individuals in the group. This is the place to look for your
problem.

Hello,
I am attempting to fit a fixed effects ordered probit model and continually receive the following error message:
Error 678: group size for indiv. 1008= 20 is too large.
Here is a log of the commands I am submitting and the output I receive.

Error 678: group size for indiv. 1008= 20 is too large.
I have an unbalanced panel of 9,563 observations among 4,133 individuals. The variable id uniquely identifies each individual i = 1 ... 4,133 and the t = 1996, 1998, 2000. The regressors are a combination of time variant and time invariant observations (i.e., gender does not change over time, but one's occupation may change from period to period.)
Here is the pattern of observations:
Freq. Percent Cum. | Pattern
---------------------------+---------
2139 51.75 51.75 | 111
557 13.48 65.23 | 11.
410 9.92 75.15 | 1..
315 7.62 82.77 | .11
280 6.77 89.55 | 1.1
229 5.54 95.09 | .1.
203 4.91 100.00 | ..1
---------------------------+---------
433 100.00 | XXX
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Patrick
