st: sensitivity analysis

[Mintewab Bezabih <Mintewab.Bezabih@economics.gu.se>]

Dear Statalist folks,

I have been trying to conduct sensitivity analysis for a weakly exogenous instrument using the code below. While I am able to run the code just fine, I was not able to change any of the parameters to obtain different set of confidence bounds. Any sugggestions on how I could do that?

Sincerely,

minti
