Michael, try the following: ***************************************** sysuse auto, clear svyset rep78 [pw = turn] svy, subpop(if foreign==0): total trunk matrix b = e(b) scalar tot = b[1,1] matrix v=e(V) scalar v =v[1,1] scalar bound = /// sqrt(v)*invttail(e(df_r),0.5*(1-c(level)/100)) scalar ll = tot-bound scalar ul = tot + bound di c(level) "% Confidence Interval" _newline /// "Estimate: " %8.0fc tot /// " ["%7.0fc ll "," %8.0fc ul "]" ****************************************** On Jul 28, 2011, at 12:12 PM, Monuteaux, Michael wrote: Hello everyone, I am estimating various parameters using a survey dataset. I am running the following command: svy: total myvar, subpop(adults) I am able to save the point estimate as a scalar using the saved matrix, e(b). But, I would like to also save the upper and lower confidence interval bounds as scalars, as well. Is it possible to access these values as scalars or a matrix? * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
