Dear all,
I want to refer to elements of the estimated parameter vector after the
�regress- command, using variable-name abbreviation.
This is an example:
clear
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r8/auto
generate weight2 = weight^2
generate weight3 = weight^3
reg mpg price weight*
[output omitted]
I want to get the coefficients for all parameters on "weight", but not the
coefficients for "price" and the constant. This works fine:
mat save = e(b)
mat mybetas = save[1,"weight".."weight3"]
mat list mybetas
ybetas[1,3]
weight weight2 weight3
y1 -.03065277 6.441e-06 -4.884e-10
I wonder whether the same result can be obtained using variable-name
abbreviation, which for some reasons would be much more convenient in my
analysis (because my actual variables have been coded using the �xi-
command). That is, I want something like
mat mybetas = save[1,"weight*"]
mat list mybetas
*weight* not found
*r(111);
which unfortunately does not seem to work. Is there a solution to this?
Cheers,
Falko.
