Dear Martin,
thank you for your quick reply and help.
What you typed works well. Thank you very much!


Best regards,

Explanation: These results are thrown up by -nlcom- which -sheafcoef-
apparently calls internally. An oddity about the command is that is requires
users to provide the "_b[]" notation which other commands in the same area,
like -lincom-, do not require. The handbook [R] clearly says as much on page
1202, but if another command calls -nlcom-, this issue may not be as
apparent to end users...

You have to say

*************
test _b[p1] = _b[p2]
*************


to make this work...

Dear Maarten,
I knew -sheafcoef- from your posting, thank you!
I followed what you typed. However, an error message "p1 not found r(111)"
was caused.
For example,
sysuse nlsw88, clear
recode occupation (11/12=4) ///
(9/10=13)
gen ln_w = ln(wage)

xi: reg ln_w i.occupation married never_married 

sheafcoef, latent( _I* ; married never_married) post
test p1=p2

What is wrong with my typing?

Thank you for any help.

Best regards,
Rose.

Yes. You can also specify the -post- option and actually test
whether these two coefficients are the same using the -test-
command. So something like:

sheafcoef, ///
latent( _Ihighested_2 _Ihighested_3 _Ihighested_4 ; ///
_IMothers_B_2 _IMothers_B_3 ) ///
post

test p1 = p2

Hope this helps,
Maarten
