The var in my example stands for variable not variance. The miss
variable is there to make sure that you ignore missing values in
your estimation. A safer way in which you can also get that is 
by typing:

gen byte miss = !e(sample)

The ! is a negation, and e(sample) identifies those cases used in
the estimation

The ids are your grouping identifiers, so identifying whatever 
your j-index represents.
