It appears that I need to run the "leverage" command with the --save flag
(and the --quiet flag to avoid printing).
This will save in the data base all three series "lever", "influ" and
"dffits" produced by the leverage command.
But this is inside a loop. That will run several thousand of times. I
certainly do not want to save these three series thousand of times (as is the
consequence of the functionality of the leverage command on the matter,
quote, <<However, if series of these names already exist, the names of the
newly saved series will be adjusted to ensure uniqueness>>).
I can see that the "ensure unique names" facility is not helpful in
this context. In git and snapshots there's now an --overwrite option
for the leverage command. The effect is that the same default names
will be reused on each iteration.
There may be a few other commands that could benefit from such an
option for use within a loop.
