You recheck the stata commands and the data what you have, hope you will easily replicate it.

Thank you Habib Nawaz Khan. I could do it now. :-)

May I request the code/data for estimating the fiinite mixture model for panels with fixed effects? I'd like to lean more on this approach. Thanks!

Dear Dr. Huang,

I got the code from Partha Deb in using stata. In order to do the FMM.

http://econpapers.repec.org/software/bocbocode/s456895.htm

here is the do file.

However, most paper use the following code to do FMM, especially those in health economics.

Dear Professor Lay,

Many thanks for your information.In fact, I knew the "fmm" command long time ago. But my question is whether the "fmm" can be directly applied to "panel data with fixed effects"?    

Best wishes,

Dear Dr. Huang,

Thank for addressing me professor, but I am not. There is no command for panel fixed effect as I consulted with Partha Deb. What he recommended me to do is to use all country dummy variable in the regression. Or you do the transformation manually (within transformation). Then you just use the command fmm.

In my research, I followed that step.

Kind regards,

Sok

Dear Sok,

Got it, and many thanks.

The command is fmm #

In Stata, the command "fmm" is used for fitting finite mixture models, allowing users to estimate models with multiple latent classes or groups within their data.
