Dear Statalisters:
I have some difficulties in using the -constrast- command
(downloadable from ssc) after -anova-.
Here is my -anova- command line with the output.
anova return info risk info*risk if round>7 & round<26 & offer==1 &
win==1, detail
Factor Value Value Value Value
------------------------------------------------------------------------
info 1 0 2 1
risk 1 0 2 1
Number of obs = 2309 R-squared
= 0.0401
Root MSE = .026537 Adj R-squared
= 0.0389

In the -contrast- command, I use the following syntax:
contrast return info risk, coeffs(1 1), if round>7 & round<26 &
offer==1 & win==1
and it does not work.
I am almost sure that the figures after coeffs are wrong. To be
honest, I do not understand very well the help file of -contrast-.
(I tried the examples given in this file, based on auto.dta, but it
returns an error message).
Does someone have some practice with -contrast-?
(I read the Stata manual and the differents threads in the
Statalist. It seems that the -contrast- command should avoid using
the command -test- with matrices after anova).
Best regards
Herve
