Kit already answered, but your search sequence is best as help -- manuals -- FAQs. Although there a few hundred FAQs at www.stata.com, their main function is to fill in gaps or spell out points that are sometimes misunderstood. Sometimes, where the documentation is detailed and fine, there are no corresponding FAQs. In this territory, for an introduction, see [U] Working with dates and times. For more comprehensive treatments, see [D] dates and times and [D] functions. Nick n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk Degas Wright I have a simple question, on the Time Period title for my regression results, I would like to show the weekly date format rather than the number. I have reviewed the FAQ and did not see how to approach this issue. Thank you in advance for your comments. local lo=tw(2006w15) local hi=tw(2010w30) forvalues i= `lo' / `hi' { local j=`i'+11 local t1=`i' local t2= `j' display _n(3) in white _col(30) /// "Time period:" `t1' "-" `t2' xtregar (D.(r ep mom)) if date>=`i' & date<=`j' , fe lbi post `vector' (`i') (`j') (_b[D.ep]) (_b[D.mom]) (_b[_cons]) /// (_se[D.ep]) (_se[D.mom]) (_se[_cons]) local j=`j'+1 } A example of the results are : Time period:2629-2640 FE (within) regression with AR(1) disturbances Number of obs = 99 Group variable: xticker Number of groups = 9 R-sq: within = 0.6656 Obs per group: min = 11 between = 0.0193 avg = 11.0 overall = 0.4579 * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
