Thanks Nick for the reply, I tried that as well, but it gave me
missing adjusted R-squared, although the value of R-squared was
available. So I assumed that something wrong with this command,
because the papers reported adjusted R-square.

Why the adjusted R square is missing? It would be great if there is a
way to get it.

Also, I wonder if there is another way than statsby to get the mean of
the regressions betas and mean adjusted R square and matched standard
errors.

Many thanks again

Nahla
