  • Computing leverage for -xtreg, re-

    Hi,

    I am struggling to compute leverage for the cases in -xtreg, re-

    -xtreg, re- uses GLS estimator, and the projection matrix for GLS, after researching on a very prestigious econometrics handbook, (no, sorry, Wikipedia), is:


    where Sigma is the covariance matrix of the errors

    Two questions:
    1: Where (how) do I get such Sigma matrix in Stata?
    2: How can I create a matrix from factor variables?

    After computing H, leverage (h) would be:
    Code:
    matrix h = vecdiag(H)'
    See an example code here:

    Code:
    . use "https://www.stata-press.com/data/r16/nlswork.dta"
    (National Longitudinal Survey.  Young Women 14-26 years of age in 1968)
    
    . xtreg ln_wage age i.race
    
    ...
    
    . mkmat age i.race, mat(X)
    factor-variable and time-series operators not allowed
    r(101);
    
    .
Working...
