st: Estimating joint ~ from two conditionals using switchr

[Reza C Daniels <rdaniels@commerce.uct.ac.za>]

Dear Statalisters,

I have a question that is more statistical than Stata-based. Would I be 
correct to say that if I wanted to estimate the joint distribution of 
(Y, X | Z), then I could do so by switching regression, which would 
first estimate (Y | X, Z) then (X | Y, Z), the product of which would 
give me (Y, X | Z)?

Thanks,
Reza
