Re: st: set value to zero in a Matrix

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

One possibility is that you are going to need an e-class program that
emits a changed matrix.

I don't use -esttab- (SSC) so can't advise. (Please remember to
explain where user-written programs come from.)

As I don't really approve I am not volunteering!

P.S. At worst this is a nested loop, e.g.

mata :
y = runiform(5,5)

for(i = 1; i <= rows(y); i++) {
         for(j = 1; j <= cols(y); j++) {
                 if (y[i,j] < 0.1) y[i,j] = 0
         }
}

y
end
