Re: st: comparing regression coefficients across two models with the same dependent variables

[James Bernard <jamesstatalist@gmail.com>]

Hi John,

Thanks for your helpful suggestion. It seems -suest- is the
solution.... but I am getting errors:

But before I elaborate: I got some info form this link and tried the
steps:     http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/code/suest.htm

I am using -suest- on a panel Poisson model

I run model 1 and store its estimates using est store [name 1]

then model 2 and store its estimates as [name2]

and then using -suest  [name1] [name2]

this is the error I get:

unable to generate scores for model low
suest requires that predict allow the score option
r(322);

Please note that low is the name of the stored estimates

What can I do?

Thanks,
James
