Re: st: Running loops with graphs

Ok, so my loop should do what you are asking if you add `i' in as an [if] condition, e.g., 

******************
forvalues i = 1/51000 {
cap drop a b c   //or use -tempvar-
di `"`i'"' 

**i assume your oil well ID is called "oilwell"  below**
nl (WOR = {b0=0.1}*(1 * exp({b1=0.05}* (ageyear))))  if oilwell == `i'
predict a

nl log3: WOR ageyear if oilwell == `i'
predict b

nl gom3: WOR ageyear  if oilwell == `i'
predict c

twoway (scatter a y) (line a y, sort), legend(off) aspect(1) name(g1, replace)
twoway (scatter b y) (line b y, sort), legend(off) aspect(1) name(g2, replace)
twoway (scatter c y) (line c y, sort), legend(off) aspect(1) name(g3, replace)
gr combine g1 g2 g3, c(1) // change look of this combined graph with options
gr export "graph`i'.eps", as(eps) replace
}

I currently have a panel database organized by oil wells (i) with monthly data (WOR) for 50 years.  I want to run the goodness of fit tests for each oil well just as you suggested but I am not sure where to include i unless it would be something along the lines of by `"`i'"' : nl …. however this is the reason I thought about using the for values command.
