Betreff: st: Difference between -suest- and -sureg-
Dear Statalisters:
A few days ago, I asked a question about how to test the difference in the
growth rate of two variables. I received several interesting answers and
Austin Nichols suggested the use of -suest-. If I adapt his suggestion to my
problem, I have the following command lines:
reg foreign_base time if time > 3 & time < 7
est sto i
reg foreign_match time if time > 3 & time < 7
est sto v
suest i v, cluster(company)
test [i_mean]time=[v_mean]time
Reading more on -suest- and -test-, I discovered the command -sureg-. I
tried to adapt it to my problem:
sureg (foreign_base time) (foreign_match time ) if time > 3 & time < 7
test [foreign_base]time = [foreign_match]time
It seems to me that the two procedures are very similar, although the
results of the chi2 are not exactly the same (but they are consistent).
Could someone explain to me the difference between the two procedures with
regard to my problem? Is one "better" than the other (please forgive me in
advance if my question is heretical). If the explanation is too long, could
I find a useful reference?
Best regards
Herve Stolowy
