Alessia
this is a repeat post of your message to the list for which you so far
did not receive any answers. I guess this may be due to an
inconclusive presentation of your "problem". You should try to give
more details as
- you regression command
- variables used and what they mean
- ...
This will certainly increase your chances to be helped out by other
list subscribers.
