Nick, Statalisters,

Define X as a NxK matrix (N=observations and K=independent variables). I simply want to get X'X, where N is a very large number and K is relatively small. N exceeds the maximum dimension for a matrix, so I am looping to compute X'X and it takes ages.

So, since this is the formula for the OLS beta=(X'X)^-1(X'Y), and "regress" is really fast I thought there must be an alternative way of computing X'X in a more efficient way.

Thanks,
Rafa

Yes, that is what it means. If you say why you want it, people might have useful suggestions, however.

Thanks Scott,

Does this mean that I cannot access the code of _regress?

I am working under stata9 and I am trying to access the ADO for routine
_regress, which is the core part of the command "regress". I checked under:

C:\Program Files\Stata9\ado\base\_

but I couldn't find this command, is there a way I can access _regress?

No.
It is not an ado file but a built in command


. which _regress
built-in command:  _regress
