Re: st: name conflict in posting a matrix

[Emmanouil Mentzakis <ementzakis@gmail.com>]

Dear Maarten,

Thank you for the example. If on top of the betas I wanted to also
bootstrap e.g. the y_fit how would I do it in the same program? Below
I ve edited your example to show what I d like to do but as expected
it produces an error.

Thank you very much for your time

Regards
Manos

sysuse auto

program define toboot, eclass
    tempname b xb xb_s
    reg price mpg foreign
    matrix `b' = e(b)
    reg rep78 mpg foreign
    matrix `b' = `b', e(b)
    matrix colnames `b' = price:mpg price:foreign price:_cons ///
                          rep78:mpg rep78:foreign rep78:_cons
    ereturn post `b'
	
predict `xb', xb
	sum `xb'
	ereturn scalar `xb_s'= r(mean)
end

bootstrap _b xb=e(xb_s), reps(100) :toboot
