Re: st: normality test using the over identifying moment conditions

[Usman Gilani <u.gilani@icloud.com>]

Dear Nick,

the dataset has 1000 obs. 
and I'm not using Stata this output is from R
i tried to run this test in stata but cause of limited stata knowledge I couldn't do it.

please tell me how can i do gmm test with following moment conditions in stata

thanks 

best

Gilani
