Dear statalisters
Estimate save is a great command when your regressions run for a long time and you want to do some post estimations later on. Often I use lincom after an estimation command. However, it doesn't work properly after estimates use...
Here's an example:
version 10
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r10/bangladesh.dta, clear
logistic c_use urban age child*
estimates save bangla1 , replace
logistic c_use urban age
estimates save bangla2 , replace
clear all
estimates use bangla1
estimates store bangla1
estimates use bangla2
estimates store bangla2
* the likelihood-ratio test works fine:
lrtest bangla1 bangla2
* but the lincom does not work (if the original dataset is not loaded):
lincom urban+age, eform
* a workaround is to create two empty variables:
gen urban=.
gen age=.
lincom urban+age, eform
Is there another way of using lincom after estimates use - without creating empty variables or loading the data?
Thanks,
Adrian
