        9/03    How can I get an R-squared value when a Stata command
                does not supply one?

The Statalist FAQ does draw attention to the FAQs as a way of answering
many questions. -search- does search the FAQs as well.

==============

The problem was as follows.

The regression is y = x b + e. (1)

However, to estimate it (b/c of a variety of issues such
autocorrelation, system of equation with correlated errors), the model
that I end up estimating is

yt = xt b + z c + v, (2)

where yt is a transformation of y, xt is a transformation of x, and z
are variables from the other regressions.

So, what I need to do is to get the estimates of b from (2) and plug
back into (1) to compute my R^2.

========

An R^2 measure for any model can almost always be computed from the
simple correlation between Y and Yhat, so if you can construct a
predicted value from the equation you estimate "if e(sample)" for yt,
and apply the inverse transformation that gets you back to yhat, just
compute the square of that correlation.
