Re: st: Save estimates in a data file

[Lists <scmoore.lists@googlemail.com>]

Does this example help at all?

clear
set obs 100
g var1 = uniform()
g var2 = _n

tempfile temp1

postfile means num mean using "temp1", replace

forval i = 5(5)100 {
capture su var1 if var2 < `i'
if _rc == 0 {
loc mean = `r(mean)'
}
else {
local mean = .
}
post means (`i') (`mean')
}

postclose means

clear
use temp1
