Dear Statalisters, In a small simulation I generate data and analyze them with 3 regression methods. In the bottom of the loop I save (among other things) scalar b2 = exp(_b[x]) // beta and then put the -scalar- values into a variable in a dataset where I collect the results from the 1000 simulated datasets. For example quietly replace b2=scalar(b1) in `i' That works fine. Now I want to calculate "hig" (in the bottom of the loop) and save it in the dataset with aggregated data (where w1, w2, w3 are -scalars-). scalar hig = 1 if (w1 > w2) & (w1 > w3) scalar hig = 2 if (w2 > w1) & (w2 > w3) scalar hig = 3 if (w3 > w1) & (w3 > w1) However, -if- is not allowed in combination with -scalar-. Anyone know a better solution for this. /Tomas * * 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/
