Hi,
You could learn about the observations used by
Stata with e(sample). For example:
sysuse auto
reg price mpg if foreign==1
list price mpg foreign if e(sample)
About the minimum 1, it is possible that you
have missing data in your x variables. If not
you could have missing values in between which
implies less available observations. For
example, you have y for t=1, 3, 5 and 6. Then
you have 4 obs for that group but only 1 pair
is useful for the AR(1) model.
HTH
Rodrigo.

Asunto: st: Obs per Group for xtregar
I'm using xtregar and having trouble identifying which records Stata is using and which it is dropping. The max obs per group is one less than the actual maximum number of observations in my data, which makes sense to me. The minimum however is listed as 1 and I don't understand this. The least number of observations in a group of my raw data is 34. I have no missing values. My panel is unbalanced, with gaps throughout the data if that matters. When does Stata drop observations?
Thanks,
