Re: st: Importing beta coefficients from other softwares

Thanks Richard. I agree with you that one option is to run the routine
in stata. But unfortunately stata does not support some methods which I
am using or will need lot of programming which I am not comfortable.
To be specific I am interesting in using lincom and nlcom routines. I
feel that if I can bring beta, standard error into stata etc. then I
should be able to use these functions. But I am not sure where to put
these information in stata system file which nlcom can use. Thanks again
for the response.

Again, if it is a method not supported by Stata, I am not sure you
can do it. But in any event, the erepost command gives you a lot of
power. In this example, I show how the predicted values would change
if the coefficient for foreign were different:
. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. reg weight foreign
