Help Creating New Variable Equal to the Square of the Residuals

[Jason Browen]

Dear all,

I am using Stata 16, on mac. I want to create a new variable called resid_sq that is equal to the square of the residuals. I used the following command: predict resid_sq, residuals. Would that be the correct way to achieve my goal?

Thank you in advance for your help

With your predict command, you already have the residuals themselves. All you need now is to square it:

replace resid_sq = resid_sq*resid_sq

Awesome thank you so very much Clyde! I greatly appreciate your time and efforts!
