Re: st: names in -svmat- or -xsvmat-

The -xsvmat- package now (as of the kast week or so) has an option

rename(oldname1 newname1 ... oldnameK newnameK)

allowing the user to rename variables in the output resultsset at will, if only the user knows the old names. So, in your case, you could type

xsvmat A,saving(bull,replace) names(c1 y c2 x1 c3 x2 c4 x3 c5 x4)

and get the names that you seem to want.

I hope this helps.
