Dear statalisters,
Although I know how to create basic Stata commands, I have no idea how to
express some tasks what I am trying to do in technical terms (in English).
Hence, I believe that showing one example will be the most straightforward
manner to make myself clear.
I have just started to play with some Mata lines, and would like to know
if it is possible to add something that does the same role of `i' in Stata
programming.
For example:
forvalues i = 1/100 {
matrix TEST_`i' = (`i',43,500)
}
will create 100 vectors/matrices: TEST_1..TEST_100
Taking the simple lines below, is it possible to create matrices TEST_1 to
TEST_100 too?
*/-----------------START--------------
clear
set obs 100
gene MATA = round(uniform()*45)
gene RULES = round(uniform()*15)
mata
X = st_data(.,("MATA", "RULES"))
Y = st_data(.,("RULES", "MATA"))
for (i=1; i<=100; i++) {
TEST = X[i,1]\Y[i,1]\X[i,1]\Y[i,1]
}
end
*/-----------------END-----------------
Cheers!
Tiago
