Renzo's -replace- statement is illegal,
as e(b) is not a variable name.
-outreg- was written by John Gallup.
The last version I can see is 3.1.7
13 May 2002. John appears to have
dropped off Statalist.
Possibly you could modify a copy of -outreg-
so that it does what you wish.
tempname b
mat `b' = e(b)
forval j = 1/`= colsof(`b')' {
mat `b'[1,`j'] = exp(`b'[1,`j'] - 1) * 100
}
<work with `b' rather than e(b) thereafter
when appropriate>
It is probably more practical, however, to get
to grips with what -parmby- can do! (I see that Roger
has explained how to do it.)
