Re: st: using a loop to run multiple regression models

[Tirthankar Chakravarty <tirthankar.chakravarty@gmail.com>]

Something like this:

**********************************************
clear*
set obs 1000

g y = rnormal()
drawnorm a b c d e f

local rhssets ""a b" "c d" "e f""
local counter = 1

foreach x of local rhssets {
	reg y `x'
	predict yhat`counter'
	local counter = `counter' +1
}
**********************************************
