Oops, the last line should be "estat bootstrap, all" S. Jared: 1) -mmregress-, part of the -mcd- package ("findit"), uses an algorithm superior to that in -rreg- (higher breakdown point) and, unlike -rreg-, is resistant to high leverage observations. Be sure to set the seed first. 2) When -suest- doesn't work, you can usually rig a -bootstrap- to replace it. See: http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/statistics/bootstrapped-samples- guidelines/. Note that for valid confidence intervals, as opposed to SEs, you do need 100's if not 1000's of replicates, I believe. *************CODE BEGINS************* sysuse auto, clear capture program drop myboot program myboot, rclass rreg trunk length return scalar l1 = _b[length] rreg weight length return scalar l2 = _b[length] end bootstrap (r(l1)-r(l2)) , reps(50): myboot estat bootstrap all **************CODE ENDS************** http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/statistics/bootstrapped-samples- guidelines/ Note that for valid confidence intervals, as opposed to SEs, you do need 100's if not 1000's of replicates, I believe.
