Re: st: -by varname- and -est store-

[Alan Marshall <Alan.Marshall@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk>]

Dear Bernhard,

Coincidentally I was about to email the stata list with almost exactly 
the same
question! I'm using the by command with nl (non linear regression) and I also
want to store my parameter estimates but can only retieve the estimates
assocaited with the last by variable.

I'd really appreciate it if you could forward any advice you recieve on to me.

Thanks

Alan
