Re: st: Cycling Through Regressions and Storing Residuals

[Joerg Luedicke <joerg.luedicke@gmail.com>]

Consider the following example, assuming -industry- ranges from 1 to
12 with delta 1:

*--------------------------
webuse nlsw88, clear

gen myresid = .

forval i = 1/12 {
	reg wage hours if industry == `i'
	predict t if e(sample), resid
	replace myresid = t if e(sample)
	drop t
}
*--------------------------
