How can I save matrices?

Stata does not save matrices with the dataset. You can save a matrix if you
first convert it to a dataset using
svmat. To reload the matrix, you
can use the dataset and then use the
mkmat command. See the STB
article, Storing matrices as variables in STB-23 (ip6.2, reprinted in
STB Reprints, vol. 4).
The
svmat is not part of Stata, so you will need to obtain the
ado-files that accompanied the article in order to save your matrices.
You can download STB-23 from the
anonymous ftp site.
