-regress- saves this information in e(ll), although it does not display it.
Try
. sysuse auto
. regress mpg weight
. display e(ll)
Of course, if you want this sort of thing displayed, you could always type
. xtmixed mpg weight
or
. xtmixed mpg weight, reml
if you want the likelihood associated with the "N-k" divided residual error,
rather than the ML residual error, which merely divides by N. -regress-
gives the latter, by the way.
