Dear Nick,

thanks for your help. forval does exactly what I want.

I don't know what you expect Stata to do with all the output that is
produced separately for each -by- group. For example, do you want
separate matrices b, beta, v for each group? I guess you do. 

It is more likely perhaps that you want to loop over the groups,
something like this: 

egen group = group(myvar)
su group, meanonly
forval i = 1/`r(max)' { 
	probit ... if group == `i' 
	wtpcikr  ... if group == `i' 
	matrix b`i' = e(b)
	matrix beta`i' = b`i'/-b`i'[1,1]
	...
}

I need to run identical regressions for different subsamples of my data
set. I have one variable that defines the different subsamples and I
would like to use this variable together with the "by" command. My
problem is that my regressions contain several command.

My regressions, together with my "post estimation" commands, look like

probit yes lnbid lninc if bid<=income
wtpcikr lnbid lninc if bid<=income, mym(mean1) expo matrix b=e(b) matrix
beta=b/-b[1,1] matrix v=e(V)/(b[1,1]^2) ereturn post beta v, noclear
ereturn display scalar sigma=1/-b[1,1] display sigma

Using my variable that defines the different subsamples, I would like to
run the string of commands above for each subsample. Is this possible
using the "by" command?
