I'm stumped on this one. I want to be able to automate the creation of a results table that does not contain t-ratios or pvalues (or be able to suppress the t-ratio and pvalues in modprint). varname(xlist) produces a string with commas separating the names, but the rownames command wants spaces instead of commas. So far I haven't been able to get a proper string to use with rownames using loops. <> open broiler list xlist = const 2 3 4 5 matrix X = { xlist } vn = varname(xlist) vn

As per the help for colnames, you can just give the name of the list: <hansl> open broiler list xlist = const 2 3 4 5 matrix X = { xlist } colnames(X, xlist) </hansl> However, if you need to swap out commas for spaces, you can use strsub(). Go to /Help/Function reference and look under "Strings" for related functions.

In fact, strsub is miraculous! <> vname = Stein["mEXOGnames"] vnam = strsub(vname, ",", " ") <> vname looks like: vname= x_1,x_2,x_3 vnam = x_1 x_2 x_3 On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 11:44 AM, Lee Adkins <lee.adkins(a)okstate.edu&gt;wrote: > Actually, I really do need rownames to label the coefficients from the > variables in the list, but my problem is rather that the bundle doesn't > play well with lists so to make tables for my Stein-rules based on the > variable names automatic (using the bundle) required some trickery.
