Thank you, Chuck, I love your videos. They address very precise questions and the information is directly transferable to what I am doing. Often, I listen, until I get to the section that addresses my issue, open my data set and apply the information directly. I save the youtube address so I can return to it every time I need that information.

[@avimor5751]

which command will give me tha results for a regress such as this one : Y=beta0+beta1X+(1-beta)W

[@varunmiglani110]

does egen has geometric mean function

[@statacorp]

The *egen* command does not have a function for geometric means. However, you can compute geometric means with the *ameans* command. Please type *help ameans* to learn more.
