Dear Stata Users,
I would like to compare the importance of independent variables (Xs)
in explaining the dependent variable (y).
What is the best way of doing this and how can this be done in Stata?
For example, how can I partition the variance of y into components
explained by individual Xs? Is there any user-written program that you
know of for this purpose?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
