st: using the output from quadchk

["Pagel, Christina" <c.pagel@ucl.ac.uk>]

I am using quadchk repeatedly to check the fits of a series of xtlogit comm= ands within a foreach loop in a DO file. What I would like to do is to writ= e the quadchk output to a matrix and then to check within the DO file wheth= er the relative differences are too large, outputting a warning for the use= r. This would save people having to check the quadchk output manually.

Currently I save the output, say, xtlogit by a command like this:

Matrix TempMatrix =3D r(table)

And then write the relevant information to a matrix of my own, e.g.:

Matrix Results[3,1]=3Dexp(TempMatrix[1,1])/(1+exp(TempMatrix[1,1]))

And finally at the end of the DO file I show this matrix to the user:

Matrix list Results.

Doing ereturn list after running quadchk, I can't work out where the relati= ve differences are stored and where I should look for them! Ideally I'd lik= e to have code that went something like this:

Quietly quadchk

Matrix TempDiffs =3D XXXXXXXX
If TempDiffs[X,y]>10^(-3) {

Display "Warning: quadchk indicates fit unreliable"
}
