Stata's definition appears to be 1 -  e(sum_adev) / e(sum_rdev) in this
case. 

That's unlike any other definition of pseudo-R^2 that's popular, but it
is natural for a method based on L1-norm (or whatever notation you use).


This underlines one of several problems with these measures: there are
so many to choose from.

I run a median-regression (qreg) and I wanted to save the "pseudo r2" by
using commands like e() or local
but without success. 

gen r2=e(r2) is fine is case of OLS (reg[, robust]) 
How can I do the same or something similar after running a
median-regression?

People express doubt and concern about the pseudo r2 (according to the
internet).
Is it a second best solution or even a bad solution?
