Dear Alex,
Thank you very much for your prompt response and for your help.
I'm still with a silly question about the symmetry test.
Based on your routine below, how could I distinguish the parameters fo
interst for the symmetry test (g12 g21 g31 g13...) from the other
parameters of the model?
Still, sometimes (for other exercises I'm planning to do), I'd like to
keep only some parameters from the model and make some test.
How can I "view "and "use" the some parameters from the model?
In the case of ther symmetry test (if I only use the unrestricted
model), I tried to use something like [eq_1]g12 = [eq_2]g2, but stata
(actually, me!) always complain with something about: "equation [1]
not found".
Here is the estimates/results I can get from using nlsur quaids based
on my data:
