I'd like to add two small corrections below to my previous posting:
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-12/msg00650.html
1) The number of iterations is not saved after -xtmixed- BUT is saved after
most -ml- commands in -e(ic)-.
2) Saving the convergence flag in return results is unnecessary, you can
simply use -e(converged)- as an expression in -simulate-:
/******************************************************/
cap program drop mywrapper
program mywrapper
version 10
clear
set obs 10
gen double id = _n
gen double y = 2*invnormal(uniform())
expand 5
replace y = 5 + y + invnormal(uniform())
xtmixed y || id: , iter(3)
end
simulate (e:conv = e(converged)) _b, reps(3): mywrapper
qui summ e_conv
di as txt "# converged: " as res r(N)
/******************************************************/
