st: AW: Loop over regression estimates

Here is a possible solution with a -postfile-. Make sure you have no
important file "info.dta" lying around...



*************
sysuse auto, clear
 
	reg pr weight turn
	estimates store h1m4s 
	reg pr headroom weight turn
	estimates store h1m4a 
	reg pr headroom weight length turn
	estimates store h1m4z
	reg pr headroom weight length mpg turn
	estimates store h1m4t 

	  
local hyp1 "h1m4s h1m4a h1m4t h1m4z"	  

// CAREFUL! erasing info.dta
capt erase info.dta
tempname hdle
postfile `hdle' str10 model fval pval using info

qui foreach est of local hyp1{
		estimates restore `est'
		test turn=weight
		post `hdle' ("`est'") (r(F)) (r(p))
}

postclose `hdle'

	use info, clear
	l, noobs sep(0)

Betreff: st: Loop over regression estimates

Dear all,

I have to conduct a simple Wald test (-test x1=x2=x3=x4=0-) for  
several different regression specifications. I have done the  
regressions and stored the estimates under a name that identifies the  
hypothesis, the model and the dependent variable (e.g. h1m1a). Now I  
would like to write a loop over all stored estimates, conduct the  
tests and store the F-stat and the p-value in order to export them  
later by means of -outreg2-. I have tried the loop, listed below, but  
unfortunately Stata says that the syntax is wrong. The problem lies   
probably in the foreach-command but I don't know which other loop to  
take for regression estimates and whether it is possible at all.

Here is what I tried:

local hyp1 "h1m4s h1m4a h1m4t h1m4z"
foreach est of hyp1 {
	estimates restore `est'
	test x1=x2=x3=x4=0
	local F_`est'=r(F)
	local P_`est'=r(p)
}

I would appreciate any help or references where I can read how to make it.

Best regards,
Ida
