Meherun,

I believe -bs- will produce the results you want if you supply the correct
exp_list, in this case it should be _b _se.

For example,

. use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r8/sysdsn3.dta
(Health insurance data)

. bs "mlogit insure age " _b _se , nobc nope

command:      mlogit insure age
statistics:   b_age      = [Prepaid]_b[age]
              b_cons     = [Prepaid]_b[_cons]
              b_1age     = [Uninsure]_b[age]
              b_1cons    = [Uninsure]_b[_cons]
              se_age     = [Prepaid]_se[age]
              se_cons    = [Prepaid]_se[_cons]
              se_1age    = [Uninsure]_se[age]
              se_1cons   = [Uninsure]_se[_cons]

Bootstrap statistics                              Number of obs    =       615
                                                  Replications     =        50

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    se_1cons |    50  .5281215   -.00135  .0308724   .4660811   .5901618   (N)

Note:  N   = normal


Hope this helps,
Scott

Subject: st: Multinomial logit


> Hi all,

Stata estimates the coeffcient but but puts a "." in place of standard error. I
want to Bootstrap my way out of this. Did any of you do bootstrap in MNL
framework?
