You do not even have to specify the r-class result, as -statsby-
defaults to it.
- statsby, by(marst ed) clear: fastgini wage-
John correctly noted that -fastgini- does not allow -by-, but -statsby-
is still useful here. It also allows him to omit any explicit looping
and thus to keep his code tidy...

-fastgini- is a user written program, and the statalist FAQ
askes you to report where you got it from (there are often
multiple version of user written software floating around
in cyberspace, and it would be a waste of time if we weren't
talking about the same program...) I am assuming you downloaded
it from SSC. You can use -statsby- for this problem:
*----------------- begin example ---------------
sysuse nlsw88, clear
gen marst = cond(never_married==1,1, ///
cond(married==1, 2, 3)) ///
if !missing(married, never_married)
gen ed = cond(grade < 12, 1, ///
cond(grad==12,2, 3)) ///
if grade < .
statsby gini= r(gini), by(marst ed) clear: fastgini wage
list
*---------------------- end example --------------------------
Hope this helps,
