Kit, at your knowledge - software packages like SAS are offering the
option robust for reg3? I am looking for a way to do this kind of
estimation - eventually out of the Stata package...
thanks a lot for your help,
bests,
Fabiana

If there isn't, I'd like to see these routines updated. The fact that the more-recently-developed -nlsur- provides both options (but could be used to estimate a linear SUR) suggests that there is no obstacle for -sureg-, and -reg3- is very similar to -sureg- in its logic. I have complained about this many times in 'wishes and grumbles' sessions and on this list, to no avail.
