Re: st: matrix problem

Roger,

here is an example using the auto data:

. regress mpg price foreign

. predict yhat
(option xb assumed; fitted values)
r; t=0.00 11:15:19

. somersd mpg yhat, transf(c)
Somers' D with variable: mpg
Transformation: Harrell's c
Valid observations: 74

Symmetric 95% CI for Harrell's c

         mpg |      Coef.   Std. Err.      z    P>|z|     [95% Conf.
Interval]
-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------
        yhat |   .7759969   .0340637    22.78   0.000     .7092333

. return li

scalars:
              r(level) =  95

matrices:

. mat list r(table)
