st: creating and appending to a local table using results stored in r()

["Ben Hoen" <bhoen@lbl.gov>]

I have a loop (e.g., forvalues i=1/4 {...) that will run a regression (using
areg) across  different subsets of data and then estimate a linear
combination of the regression coefficients from that subset.

I would like to take the results stored in r() [specifically r(estimate) and
r(se) from lincom] and a value calculated from those two [e.g., local tstat
= r(estimate)/ r(se)] and store those three values in a table for each
subset.  Once the loop has run through all subsets I would like to display
the table.  

I imagine the table looking like this:

group	est	se	tstat
1	0.06	0.023	2.61
2	0.11	0.09	1.22
3	0.02	0.06	0.33
4	0.05	0.04	1.25

Any advice would be very appreciated.

Thanks, in advance,

Ben
