RE: st: saving -proportion- estimates to a .dta or .csv file last estimates not found

[Tim Evans <Tim.Evans@wmciu.nhs.uk>]

Having tried both methods suggest by Maarten and Richard, I think Richard's will work best, but I have a problem in that I am using this on a multiple imputed dataset. When I run the analysis, I am returned with an error (details below):

mim: proportion stage if _mj>0 & inrange(yydx,1985,1989)
matrix bmat = e(b)

last estimates not found
r(301)

yet when I run this:

proportion stage if _mj>0 & inrange(yydx,1985,1989)
matrix bmat = e(b)
forval j = 1/4 {
gen prop`j' = bmat[1,`j']
}
sum prop*
collapse (mean) prop*

 
Its absolutely fine - but not what I want.

Any suggestions appreciated.

The estimates are ereturned in e(b). If nothing else you could 
generate variables equal to those values, cut your data set down to 
one case, and save under a new name. Something like

sysuse auto
proportion rep78 , over(foreign)
matrix bmat = e(b)
forval j = 1/10 {
gen prop`j' = bmat[1,`j']
}
sum prop*
