I recently tried to do a time series cross-section analysis using 
Stata's xtpcse routine on a set of Amelia-imputed data files. The 
information on the MI program in Stata indicates that it supports 
xtpcse, but using xtpcse requires that one have previously defined 
the country and time variables with xtset (or tsset), and I can't 
find any way of doing this for the imputed data files.  Ken Scheve, 
MI's author, suggested that I edit lines 8 and 9 of the miest.ado 
file, substituting my country variable name for "panelvar" and my 
time variable name for "timevar", but this doesn't seem to work, 
either.  Has anyone figured out a work-around for this problem?  It 
is likely to affect not just xtpcse but all the xt routines in Stata.
