Store estimates
The postestimation commands as well as the return and ereturn list only work on the last estimation. How can you store and recover estimations?
// Load auto data
sysuse auto, clear
*** Run models and store them ***
// First model: Weight & length as explanatory variables
reg price weight length
// Store estimation model & results under the name "e1"
estimates store e1
// Second model: Weight, length & foreign as explanatory variables
reg price weight length i.foreign
// Store estimation model & results under the name "e1"
estimates store e2
*** Display stored models ***
// List all stored estimations
estimates dir
// Result table for stored estimations
estimates table e1 e2
/* Note:
There are more options to make this table nicer, but consider using the
esttab command instead (see chapter on Tables & Graphs).
*/
// Display a specific estimation
estimates replay e1
*** Use stored models ***
// Use a postestimation command
estat ic
//!\\ Although we just displayed e1, the last stored model is e2 //!\\
// Use estimates restore to actually re-load a model
estimates restore e1
estat ic
