Hey folks,
I have a simple problem. I have a regression with three variables. I
would like to create a new variable equal to the sum of the estimated
coefficients times the variable values. The coefficients are saved in
the matrix e(b). I would like to do something like newvar=e(b)'*[var1
var2 var3]. Since e(b)' is 1X3 and the next matrix is 3X1, I thought it
would generate a scalar. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Eric
