Re: st: how to index regressions inside a foreach loop in order to avoid writing over the estimates

Thank you Richard for taking the time to come back to the thread.
Using and expanding on the approach recommended by Jesper I was able
to get a matrix of coefficients that were statistically significant at
the 0.1 level while accounting for environmental variables I needed to
control for.

Best,
Hind
