st: capturing correlation estimates and standard errors into a matrix

["Sandu Cojocaru" <scojocaru@gmail.com>]

Dear statalist:

I would like to run correlations for a number of variables for an
analysis of twins as follows:

foreach v of varlist varlistname {
    bootstrap r(rho), reps(100) seed(1): correlate twin1`v' twin2`v'
}

Is there a way to capture the estimated correlation coefficients and
the bootstrapped standard errors that the above loop produces into a
matrix, so that I can then format these results into a table by using,
for instance, estout? T

he table would look like this:

                    Column title
var1               corr_coef
                     (st.error)
var2               corr coef
                     (st.error)

...and so on for all variables in varlist.

cheers,
sandu
