Hi folks,
I have a variable list which has different digits after being imported into MATA; I take a snap of the whole picture:
In stata:
--------------------------------------------
1. 9.477003 8.210668 59.375 -2.00877
2. 9.34036 9.473704 66.0647 -1.543392
3. 8.986102 8.188967 53.92946 -.5894488
4. 9.285332 9.773379 73.92938 -.2278635
5. 9.286468 9.812742 57.82097 -.0813199
While in MATA:
1 9.477003098 8.21066761 59.375 -2.008770227
2 9.340359688 9.473704338 66.0647049 -1.54339242
3 8.986102104 8.188966751 53.92946243 -.5894488096
4 9.285331726 9.773379326 73.92938232 -.2278635055
5 9.286467552 9.812742233 57.82096863 -.0813199058
Note that what we see in STATA is the same as in the data editor view.
I am just wondering whether there is a way to make them the same?
Thanks a lot!
Wu
