Re: st: Extract Values from bootstrap operation

[Rahber Thariani <thariani@gmail.com>]

Thanks for the reply!

I'm actually trying to save the mean and the 5th and 95th ci values.

When I try

noi bootstrap y0_bs=r(mean),saving("output.dta", replace): sum y0_hold

I only get the mean values saved.

I tried using level(95) in my code too but that doesn't seem to work.

So I'm looking to basically save the mean and ci values from my bootstrap.

Appreciate any advice you guys can bring.

Thanks!
