Statalist,

Does anyone know the command to get Cohen's f (effect size estimator
R2/(1-R2) ) for an entire regression?  I see the help topic for
regeffectsize and effectsize but I'd like to get Cohen's f for the
entire regression, not just for specific variables.

Thanks,
Linh

Is that literally the formula? If so, how about something like

. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)

. reg price weight length foreign
