In [R] -qreg- we give the following example of -bsqreg-:

        sysuse auto, clear
        set seed 1001
        bsqreg price weight length foreign , reps(1000)

We can replicate the output table including t-statistics, p-values
and confidence intervals ourselves using -bootstrap- and -qreg-.
This code does just that:

        set seed 1001
        bootstrap "qreg price weight length foreign" _b, reps(1000)
        // The following code should work after any call to
        // -bootstrap-
        matrix b = e(b)
        matrix se = e(se)
        local names : colnames(se)
        local df = e(N) - colsof(b)
        tempname t lb ub
        local i = 1
        foreach var of local names {
                scalar `t' = (b[1, `i'] / se[1, `i'])
                scalar `lb' = b[1, `i'] - se[1, `i']*invttail(`df', 0.025)
                scalar `ub' = b[1, `i'] + se[1, `i']*invttail(`df', 0.025)
                di "`var'" _col(15) %9.0g b[1,`i'] ///
                           _col(26) %9.0g se[1, `i'] ///
                           _col(38) %6.2f `t' ///
                           _col(46) %6.3f 2*ttail(`df', abs(`t')) ///
                           _col(56) %9.0g `lb' ///
                           _col(68) %9.0g `ub'
                local i = `i' + 1
        }



These results agree with -bsqreg-, since all we've really done is
replicate what -bsqreg- does automatically.

The same code that appears after my call to -bootstrap- can be used
any bootstrapping job, including bootstrapping the 2SLAD estimator
that Thi Minh mentioned.

Hope this helps
