Dropping variables from stored estimates

[Michael Reuter]

I want to run xtoverid after using xtreg. Unfortunately, Stata drops some variables in the regression, and so xtoverid chokes on the variables that are stored with the prefix "o." in the stored estimates. This is a common and well-known issue (see, e.g., http://www.stata.com/statalist/archi.../msg00833.html). Not including the variables that will be dropped in the regression in the first place would fix it. However, I have a lot of dummies, and so this solution is extremely cumbersome.

Is there any way to quickly remove all variables who are market with "o." from a set of stored estimation results?

You didn't get a quick answer. You'll increase your chances of a useful reply by following the FAQ on asking questions - provide Stata code in code delimiters, Stata output, and sample data using dataex.

As far as I know, you can't do this. Extremely cumbersome may be quicker than trying to program a solution. If you use ivregress with dummies for fixed effects, you can try estat overid.
