Much appreciated Martin. Incidentally, how do you go about creating an empty vector in Stata? I noticed that -generate- creates a new variable of length N,but what if I want a variable of length 10? I tried macro and local but they appear to hold strings rather than floats.

Either talk to the coeff as "_b" (-help _variables-) or define a
-matrix-
and extract from it:
***********
sysuse auto, clear
reg price weight length rep78
di _b[weight]
mat A=e(b)
di A[1,1]
***********

Subject: Extracting specific elements from a matrix
Hi,
I need to extract the first element of a matrix of coefficients and store it on a variable, and repeat the process i times. I can set up the for loop and do the storing, but I don't know how to access element [i,j] of a matrix A.
In particular, my matrix is e(b), the vector of coefficients from a regression with k explanatory variables. I tried -e(b)[1,1]- but that didn't take me far.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
DF Tilley
