RE: st: bootstrap multiple equations?

["Tiago V. Pereira" <tiago.pereira@mbe.bio.br>]

Austin, if you don't want to compare the different models, the most
straightforward way is to create a r(class) program that outputs directly
the coefficients.

Within the program, you can write the N different models as locals, and
loop over all possible models, outputting the results as a a scalar.

Say your program loops over 10 models and outputs  r(coef_1) ... r(coef_10).

You can create a single local


forvalues i = 1/10 {

		local coefs " `coefs' r(coef_`i')"

	}


dis "`coefs'"

and ask for the -bootstrap- to pick up all the returned coefficients with
this single local. Example:

 bootstrap `coefs', reps(1000) : yourpogram

Hope this helps.

Tiago
