The pathreg command is useful and an easy way to keep the sample size
consistent for each prediction. Unfortunately, I don't think it reports the
R-square for each equation and that is usually important information.
As a sidelight, for many purposes the reg3 command may be a little
more useful than pathreg, e.g.
. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. pathreg (weight foreign) (price weight foreign)
