Re: st: Ologit storing p-values up to 10 decimal places

Thanks Nick. I was just trying to do a Genome Wide Association test with a trial sample of 500 SNPs. In a normal dataset, we have around 500,000 SNPs and the p-values are very small (the last one I ran in PLINK had the top hit at 5e-17). I would eventually want to modify the code so that it runs fo 500K SNPs. The reason for trying to run the GWAS in Stata and not PLINK is that PLINK doesn't have the capability of doingan ordinal logistic regression.
I got confused with the code. Sorry for that. If I wanted to print out the sorted p-values would adding an extra line (sort e(p)) do it?
Also, I just noticed that Stata 11 has a --pformat-- option. I was wondering if that can be used before the loop to specify that I want p-values upto certain decimal places.
Thanks,
Debs
foreach var of var length-gratio {
capture ologit rep78 `var'
* sort p-values
sort e(p)
di "`var' {col 20}" %12.10f e(p)
}

Your code is very confused, mixing up macros and variables and
assuming that values exist which you never assigned. However, with the
big caveat that no P-value can be trusted out to the tenth decimal
place, the technique in this may be a start at what you seek.

foreach var of var length-gratio {
capture ologit rep78 `var'
di "`var' {col 20}" %12.10f e(p)
}
For more manipulation, look at -postfile-.
If you are inspecting that many P-values, also consider building in a
penalty for chance hits.

This is my code so far. I may be wrong here. How do I make Stata report p-values up to 10 decimal places? Do I need to specify e(b) under display if I want the beta coefficients printed out for each rs #?
