In case of -testparm-, see -return list-, or -di r(p)-. However, there
is a very good reason why Stata doesn't report these digits: no
empirical model will ever be precise enough for these digits to have
any meaning at all. So, although I have given you an answer I very
strongly recommend that you do not use it, these extra digits or
nothing other than random noise.
