Re: st: how can I save confidence intervals, t and p values in macros?

["Michael Blasnik" <michael.blasnik@verizon.net>]

For most Stata commands, results that can derived from other results are 
often not stored in e() or r() because it is fairly simple to re-create them 
and it is not clear why you would need to store them.

The real question is what you want to do with the values -- what is you 
goal?.  If you are planning to compare multiple models, then maybe you 
should be looking at the -estimates- commands (store, table, etc).  If you 
want them for exporting as tables, maybe you should check out -estout- 
or -outreg2-.  Otherwise, you will have to do it "by hand", which can be 
automated fairly easily depending on your ultimate goal.
