st: Re: estout format problem

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

This is not an estout problem. Files produced by estout or estimates  
table are not meant for further computation; they're created for  
presentation. If you want to work with the coefficient vectors and  
standard errors of these estimates, save the matrices:

logit y x1 x2 x3
mat b1 = e(b)
mat V1 = e(V)
logit y2 x4 x5 x6
mat b2 = e(b)
mat V2 = e(V)

You may then do whatever numerical calculations you wish with the  
results at the full numerical precision with which they are stored.  
Although displaying a matrix (e.g. mat list b1) will use a default  
format, any calculations will use full accuracy.

You may also access these matrices' contents from within Mata if you  
want to carry out further calculations in a powerful matrix language.
