Title

    indeplist -- Returns lists of independent variables from the active
                   estimation command.

Syntax

        indeplist [, equation(equation list) local constant dropped]


Description

    indeplist displays the names of the independent variables of the active
    estimation command. Separate list will be displayed if the estimation
    command contains multiple equations, unless the equation option is
    specified. In that case only lists of independent variables from the
    equations specified in the equation option will be displayed.  By default
    the constant and all variables that were droped by Stata (due to
    multicolinearity) are not included in the list. This default can be
    overturned by specifying the the constant and/or the dropped option
    respectively.

Options

    equation(equation list) Specifies the equations from which the
        independent variables will be displayed. The equation name needs to
        be enclosed by quotation marks if the equation name contains spaces.

    local Specifies that the lists of independent variables are stored in
        locals within the calling program's space. The locals are caled
        Xeqname, where eqname is the name of the equation with the spaces
        removed. indeplist will now also make a local called locnames that
        contains the names of the locals made by indeplist, except the local
        locnames itself. This option is primarily useful in combination with 
        foreach.

    constant Specifies that the constant is also treated as an independent
        variable and returned in the lists of independent variables. If this
        option is not specified the constant (_cons) will be removed from the
        lists of independent variables.

    dropped Specifies that all variables that were dropped by Stata due to
        multicolinearity are still included in the list of variables.

Saved results

    r(Xeqname) Contains the list of independent variables for equation
        eqname. Spaces are removed from eqname if the equation name constains
        spaces.
