Re: st: regression with coefficients at a set value

I'm not clear on the question. Do you mean, how do you impose
constraints? If so, see
help constraint
and also check the help for whatever command you are using. Not all
commands support a constraints option, but sometimes there is a
similar command that will. For example, ologit does not support the
constraints option but the user-written -oglm- does (rather slowly,
mind you, but it does support them). Also, Jeroen Weesie's -linest-
command can be quite handy for commands that do not otherwise support
constraints.
Also, depending on your purposes, some commands support an offset
and/or exposure option.
Also, the -test- command includes a -coef- option, which reports
estimated constrained coefficients, e.g.
. quietly reg price mpg weight
. test weight=2, coef
( 1) weight = 2
F( 1, 71) = 0.16
Prob > F = 0.6939

If none of this answers your question, please clarify what the question is.
