Why do I get all kinds of errors when trying to run panel data analysis?

Created by Steve Hoover, Modified on Sun, Jan 14 at 11:26 AM by Steve Hoover

It is important to ensure that your data has the appropriate structure before you can run panel data analysis. You will need enough panel members (say, 5 or more), sufficient amount of data (say, at least 30 rows of data), one column of data to indicate each panel member’s ID, one column to indicate the occasion (replication) at which a panel member was measured, etc. The program uses several internal checks on the data before it will run the analysis to ensure that the results would be interpretable.
