st: Postestimation after regress, robust

[Dana Chandler <dchandler@gmail.com>]

Hi fellow statalisters -

I am looking to get a sense of whether my data has any influential
observations in a panel regression I am running. Ideally, I would want
to predict and graph studentized residuals, cook's distance, and the
hat matrix - predict, rstudent, cooksd, hat.

However, the regression has several nonstandard options on it:
aweights(), robust(), cluster(). I think robust is the one that is
causing stata to return that I cannot run the postestimation commands.

I'm not sure whether the issue is that it's theoretically dubious to
talk about those measures after doing a robust estimation, whether
there is simply an additional package I can download somewhere, or
whether I would have to program something myself.

Another workaround might be to just try regressing with the aweights
and predicting the measures of influence (which stata DOES report
after reg y x [aw=N]). Since "robust" and "cluster" don't affect
parameter estimates, this might be sufficient for finding out
observations that are affecting parameter values. Does anyone think
that would yield a substantially different answer?

I'm also open to other ways of finding observations in my panel that
are influencing the regression.

Thanks,
Dana
