" it seems that standard errors are not saved at all (?)".
Not so! The SEs are there for the coefficients, stored in the matrix e(V).
e(V) is a varcov, so to compare to the -xtlogit- output, take the square
root of the elements on the main diagonal...

Betreff: Re: AW: st: Re: estout and xtlogit
"I do find it weird that the se for rho is not returned, as it is
(probably)a prominent ingredient to the LR test at the bottom of
-xtlogit- output..."
When I type: xtlogit movedout male, i(LPNR) quad(30)
...StataSE10.1 xtlogit output returns SE for all Coef., including
sigma_u and rho. However, typing: ereturn list, it seems that standard
errors are not saved at all (?). Storing the estimates typing: eststo...
and then using the command estout/esttab then returns SE, but only for
B-coeff, not for sigma_u and rho. I find it difficult understanding why
these commands return SEs at all, when SEs did not appear to be saved
for any of the coefficients in the ereturn list. I guess I've missed out
on something.
Thank you for helping me; it is invaluable. I'm new to Stata and to the
Statalist, but both the program and the list are great.
Regards,
Hilde
