While your question is not completely clear, try this; after reshaping
to wide form, form a new variable that is the difference between the
matched pairs on your variable of interest; if you then regress with
only the constant on the right you will have exactly the paired t-test
results (try it); you can then add other predictors to the regress command.

Dear Statalisters:
I am not sure whether it makes sense or not, but is there a sort of
-regress- command that allows to conduct a pair-matched -ttest-, but
with other independent variables?
I tried using -xtmixed-, but the result is not the same.
A contrived data set could be:
matching_identification outcome ocasion variable_not_matched
1 1 1 0
1 2 2 0
2 3 1 0
2 5 2 1
3 2 1 0
3 4 2 1
4 6 1 1
4 5 2 1
To perform the pair-matched ttest it is necessary to -reshape- and to
use -ttest outcome1==outcome2-, losing the independent
variable_not_matched.
Thank for any orientation.
Regards,
José Maria
