Dear _all,
I think I found a bug in -test- when using -restore-d estimates when the
original dataset has been -clear-ed:
. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)
. reg price mpg weight
<snip>
. estimates store a
. clear
. estimates restore a
(results a are active now)
. test mpg
( 1) mpg = 0
F( 1, 71) = 0.33
Prob > F = 0.5673
. test mpg=0
mpg not found
r(111);
when -test-ing against a given value, Stata gives an error if the
variable being tested is absent from the dataset.
Now if I
. gen mpg=.
. test mpg=0
( 1) mpg = 0
F( 1, 71) = 0.33
Prob > F = 0.5673
If a variable with the "correct" name is present, -test- works again as
expected
Antoine
