Hi Vincent,
Thanks for using Clarify. Let me answer your questions in the order in which
you ask them.
1. Unfortunately SETX does not permit you to specify different values for
different equations in a multi-equation model. We are aware of this
drawback, and will try to address it in our next update.
2. There are two possible outcomes when you type SETX without anything else
on the line. If you have not typed SETX before, you will receive a message
saying, "No values have been set for the explanatory variables." This does
not mean that the values have been set to zero, but that you have not yet
set any values for the explanatory variables. If you type SETX without
anything else *after* having set the values, then you will see the values
that you have set the X's to on the screen. To set a variable called X1 to
0, type "setx x1 0"
3. To set all variables to their means, type "setx mean". To set only
variable X1 to its mean, type "setx x1 mean"
4. I am not sure what you are after in question 4. Perhaps you should
elaborate a little. Clarify does not include any graphics capability. The
replication information for our paper, including any graphics code, can be
downloaded from

Good luck with your research!

Subject: [clarify] syntax of using SURE in clarify
Dear Prof King, Prof Tomz and Prof Wittenberg:
thank you for posting the software on the web. it is
very useful!
i am using your "clarify" for seemingly
unrelated regression. can you kindly let me know the following problem
on
syntax?
since i have some explantory variables are common in those equations,
i
have the following questions of analysis
specifications:
1. how can i specify different value of those same variables
simultanously appear in different equations when using "setx" ?
2. is it meant that i am making all the explantory variables set to
zero when i typed "setx" only.
3. is it meant that all other variables are set to their "mean" while
i
just specified only one variable?
4. how can i perform the first differencing and the graph of the
seeming
uncorrelated regression.
yours
