| Subject | st: saving coefficients for "absorb" variable for areg command |
| Date | Fri, 17 Sep 2010 17:34:56 -0400 |
I am using the areg command to estimate two regressions with large categorical dummy-variable sets. This command allows the option "absorb(varname)" to accommodate the set of dummy variables. This is highly advantageous to me because the variable has >1000 categories and the estimation is very efficient. Is there a way to save the coef estimates for from this command for these factors? Alternatively is there another command that gets me there in a different way. To this end you should know I tried running regress using i.varname but after 15 minutes I stopped the command.
