Title
Macro extended functions regarding matrices
Syntax
The following extended macro functions are allowed with local and global:
: rowfullnames A
: colfullnames A
: rownames A
: colnames A
: roweq A , quoted
: coleq A , quoted
Description
These extended macro functions obtain the current row and column names
and row and column equation names of a matrix. See [P] matrix rownames
for setting the names. See [P] macro for information on extended macro
functions. See [P] matrix for information on matrices in Stata.
Option
quoted encloses each equation name in double quotes. Some Stata
estimation commands, such as mlogit, create matrices with equation
names containing spaces when the dependent variable has value labels
containing spaces. The quoted option makes it possible to correctly
determine each equation name.
Examples
. local names : rownames mymat
. local names : rowfullnames mymat
. local names : colfullnames e(b)
