Title

mvdcmpgroup -- covariate grouping after multivariate decomposition for nonlinear response models

Syntax

mvdcmpgroup (aggregate_var : varlist) [(aggregate_var : varlist)], options

where

aggregate_var specifies the name of a coarser decomposion quantity comprised by
aggregating the individual contributions of the variables appearing in in varlist.

options

nocons omit constant term from aggregate decomposition

Description

mvdcmpgroup is a companion routine to mvdcmp. It is used as a postestimation
command to generate a coarser decomposition based on grouping several covariates, such as a
collection of socioeconomic variables, that may be informative when considered together as a single
component. This is similar to what is provided by Jann's fairlie
module.

Examples

grouping after decomposition

mvdcmpgroup (SES: medu inc1000)
