Re: st: Filling mata results in a matrix

[Christophe Kolodziejczyk <ck.statalist@gmail.com>]

Dear Jonas
The matrix V is defined outside of your function, therefore it doen't
exist in sub_matriy. One solution is to pass it as an argument.
Best
Christophe


mata
void sub_matriy(real matrix V)
{
D = st_matrix("X")
r = st_numscalar("row_mata")
o = st_numscalar("columns_mata")



 V[r,o] = mean(select(vech(D), vech(D) :< 1))
}
mata mosave sub_matriy(), replace
end
