Note that -help qreg postestimation- does not purport to allow -suest-. So
you have to compute your test differently, see

Betreff: st: RE: RE: using estimate store + suest+test to compare regression
coefficients between two samples, how to adjust for clustering

Martin,

Thank you very much for your kind help!  It answers my question perfectly!

I have a follow-up question: can I use similar tests for median regressions
(qreg)?  If not suest+test, how to compare coefficients across models for
median regressions?

I tried the following codes:
qreg y x1 x2 x3 x4 if female==0
estimates store male
qreg y x1 x2 x3 x4 if female==1
estimates store male
suest male female

I got the following error message:

"unable to generate scores for model male
suest requires that predict allow the score option
r(322);"

Thanks a lot!
Yiming

"The error message is:
"male was estimated with cluster(family). 
re-estimate without the cluster() option, and 
specify the cluster() option with suest.
r(322);""



Just follow Stata`s advice, I would say:

*******
sysuse auto, clear
reg price weight length if foreign
est store for
reg price weight length if !foreign
est store dom
suest for dom, cluster(rep)
test ([for_mean]_b[weight ] = [dom_mean]_b[weight ]) ([for_mean]_b[length ]
= [dom_mean]_b[length ])
testnl ([for_mean]_b[weight ] / [dom_mean]_b[weight ]) =
([for_mean]_b[length ] /[dom_mean]_b[length ])
*******

Subject: st: using estimate store + suest+test to compare regression
coefficients between two samples, how to adjust for clustering

Dear Statalist,

I use "estimates store + suest + test" to compare regression coefficients
between two samples.  It works fine until I tried to adjust clustering in
the regressions. Below are detailed description of the problem. Is there a
way to can get around this problem using "suest" or some alternative
commands?

I ran the same regression for two groups (male vs. female):
Y = a1*x1 + a2*x2 + a3*x3 + ....
I want to test:
1.      The joint hypothesis that a1 and a2 are the same b/w the two groups.
2.      The hypothesis that a1/a2 is the same b/w the two groups.


The following stata codes work fine:  
reg y x1 x2 x3 x4 if female==0
estimates store male
reg y x1 x2 x3 x4 if female==1
estimates store male
suest male female
test ([male_mean]_b[x1] = [female_mean]_b[x1]) ([male_mean]_b[x2] =
[female_mean]_b[x2])
testnl [male_mean]_b[x1]/[male_mean]_b[x2] =
[female_mean]_b[x1]/[female_mean]_b[x2])

However, if I add cluster() to the two regressions, I got error messages.  
reg y x1 x2 x3 x4 if female==0, cluster(family)
estimates store male
reg y x1 x2 x3 x4 if female==1, cluster(family)
estimates store male
suest male female

The error message is:
"male was estimated with cluster(family). 
re-estimate without the cluster() option, and 
specify the cluster() option with suest.
r(322);"


Thank you very much!
Yiming Qian
