Re: st: theory reg vs. qreg

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

What you want is not at all clear. In fact, you seem confused about some basics.

 For example, if you fit a regression

Y2=a2*x+b2

it's not true that a2 = mean(x).

What do you mean by "deactivate" a coefficient?

-qreg y-

works; it's just a round-about way of calculating the median of -y-,
which you can do directly with -summarize-.
