Re: st: Fwd: sureg

There are numerous cases where -sureg- run on several equations is
equivalent in every way to running OLS on each equation. -sureg (y x1 x2
x3)- is one of them. It is doing nothing at all beyond OLS, except for
reporting a large-sample VCE.
That said, -sureg- appears to have a bug. If you do
webuse auto
reg price mpg headroom trunk
sureg (price mpg headroom trunk)
sureg (price mpg headroom trunk), small
The latter sureg results should equal OLS in terms of the standard errors
and the t-stats: that's the meaning of -small-. But that option appears to
do nothing at all.
The "small" option only affects whether z and chi2 statistics on one hand
and t and F statistics on the other are displayed. To replicate the
results from -regress- using -sureg-, you must specify the "dfk" or "dfk2"
options along with "small":
. sysuse auto
. regress price mpg headroom trunk
. estimates store reg
. sureg (price mpg headroom trunk), small dfk
. estimates table reg ., se equations(1)

legend: b/se
When there is a single equation, the "dfk" and "dfk2" options result in
the same degree-of-freedom adjustment, but in general that need not be the
case. Since one is not clearly better than the other, you must specify
which one you want.
