Currently, you have the statements 

	if sum(flag) < n then
		ui = ui[loc(flag)=1];
	else if sum(flag)= n then
		ui= ui;

I suspect you meant to write

	if sum(flag) < n then
		ui = ui[loc(flag=1)];   /* <== CHANGE THIS LINE */
	else if sum(flag)= n then
		ui= ui;

 

Be aware that if no element of FLAG equals 1, then the LOC function returns an empty matrix.

which would result in an error.

It is best practice to copy from the LOG the submitted code along with the error  message. Paste into a code box opened with the {I} or running man icon. Many times the position and other information in the log gives clues as the where the error occurs. So just the error message isn't quite as helpful.

the aim is to calculate robust reference interval and confidence interval of reference value(upper,lower)

Your matrices are a certain size, let's say nxk. If you have a subscript which refers to column k+1 or refers to row n+1, or refers to row or column <=0, you will get the error.

 

You can debug this code by putting PRINT or SHOW commands in your code that will write to the log the actual sizes of the matrices and the values of subscripts used.
