Re: st: Re: using categorical and continuous variables foreach loop for univaraite analysis

[Michael Stewart <michaelstewartresearch@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I apologize, I should have told you that I have tried the solution
suggested by Phil prior to posting the question and I get an error

************************************************************
foreach x of varlist i.cat1 i.cat2 con1 con2 {
logit outcome `x'
}

factor variables not allowed
r(101);

end of do-file
************************************************************

Regarding Dimitri's solution, I have unequal number of categorical and
continuous variables.hence, will not be able to use the solution.


Thank you again for your time and consideration

Mike
