In order for this question to be answerable you need to add complete
references and you need to state exactly (which really really means
exactly) what you typed in Stata that led you to the conclusion that
these two methods do not lead to the same results.
All this is clearly explained in the Statalist FAQ, which you were
asked to read before posting to Statalist. This FAQ does not exist to
trick you, it is there to help you ask answerable question. This is
also in your interest. So please read the FAQ (again). A link can be
found at the bottom of this post (and any other post on the
Statalist).
