Hausman test

[mapleleaf1]

I realise that I can use the Hausman test to determine whether fixed or randome effects would be suitable
for my estimation model. The command "View/Fixed/Random Effects
Testing/Correlated Random Effects-Hausman Test" can be used. But my
question: how can I use this comand? do I have to conduct fixed and
random effects tests first (how can I save them for Hausman test)?

You must first estimate with random effects, then apply the test.
