Re: st: robust estimation SUREG

[Jorge Eduardo Pérez Pérez <perez.jorge@ur.edu.co>]

You could use the -genwt- option in -rreg- to generate the weights
used in the robust regression, then use those weights in -sureg-. You
will have three sets of weights from your first three regressions, and
-sureg- will only allow a set of weights, so you would have to combine
them somehow.

Due to the presence of outliers I performed in a first step a robust regression using the rreg command of Stata (rreg combines two types of robust weighting: iteratively reweighted least squares and biweight estimator). In a second step, for each of the three regressions performed, I predicted the residuals and investigated the correlation between the residuals of each of the three equations. It turned out that the residuals were correlated, which advocates for the use of a SUR model. Unfortunately I could not find any information on how to perform in Stata a robust estimation of the SUR model (i.e. on how to combine the robust approach underlying the rreg command and the SUR approach underlying the sureg command).
