Oggetto: st: re: a question related to -foreach-
< >
Carlo asks
. foreach x of varlist b1-b36 {
2. summarize `x'
3. }
I would like to generate a newvar in which the r(mean) for each one
of the 36 variables included in varlist are stored. How can I do this
in Stata 9.2/SE?
No need to use a foreach loop.
tabstat b1-b36, save
mat mu = r(StatTotal)'
mat li mu
If for some reason you want these in a variable, use -svmat-:
svmat mu
which creates variable mu1, obs. 1-36.
