Dear Neil,
Thanks for the tip! I am a new stata user and sometimes small issues like
this can take a lot of time and worry.
I am still discovering the possibilities of stata.
* gen pw = 8564/200
* gen fpc = 8564
These commands were indeed superfluous in this loop. But I have a similar
loop in which I take the surveydesign into account.
I wonder if the standard errors will be the same...
First I did a bootstrap, but I didn't find an option ('without
replacement'). (Or does it exist?)
That's why I used the - sample- command in a loop.
Not a problem.
One possibility would be to have a look at the -bs- command (although
the help indicates that this is with replacement, but from your code I
don't see how your currently avoiding replacement).
For future reference, you can do searches on keywords using the
-search- and -findit- commands, in this instance -findit bootstrap-
points to a wealth of possible hits.
Neil
