Re: st: How to export Mann-Whitney U Test output in rich text format

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

-eststo- and -estpost- are user-written commands (SJ, SSC), as you are
asked to explain.

You don't show the code you tried using -eststo- or -estpost- (or I
gather other commands) but as -ranksum- is not an estimation command,
I don't think you should expect your code to work. The difference
between e-class and r-class commands is crucial here.

Others may have positive suggestions.
