Re: st: RE: RE: Create a table of estimation results from several simple regressions

[Ángel Rodríguez Laso <angelrlaso@gmail.com>]

Dear Lance,

I'm also interested in Hasan's question and I've tried your promising
code with the following result (working with Stata 9.2 for Windows):

. reg price mpg

      Source |       SS       df       MS              Number of obs =      74
-------------+------------------------------           F(  1,    72) =   20,26
       Model |   139449474     1   139449474           Prob > F      =  0,0000
    Residual |   495615923    72  6883554,48           R-squared     =  0,2196
-------------+------------------------------           Adj R-squared =  0,2087
       Total |   635065396    73  8699525,97           Root MSE      =  2623,7

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       price |      Coef.   Std. Err.      t    P>|t|     [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------
         mpg |  -238,8943   53,07669    -4,50   0,000    -344,7008   -133,0879
       _cons |   11253,06   1170,813     9,61   0,000     8919,088    13587,03
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

. matrix mpg = r(table)'

. matrix mpg = mpg[1,1..2],e(N)
conformability error
r(503);

Best regards,

Angel Rodriguez-Laso

>> Model 1 | Estimate | Std. Error | Num. Obs.
>> Model 2 | Estimate | Std. Error | Num. Obs.
>> Model 3 | Estimate | Std. Error | Num. Obs.
>>

>>
>> M1 | Est | SE |
>>  Number of Obs
>>                   M2 | Est | SE | #
>>                    Number of Obs
>>                                     M3 | Est | SE | #
>>                                      Number of Obs
>>
>> How can I produce a table that looks like the first structure I showed
