|
{cmd:estout} assembles a table of coefficients, "significance
|
|
stars", summary statistics, standard errors, t- or z-statistics, p-values,
|
|
confidence intervals, and other statistics for one or more models
|
|
previously fitted and stored by {helpb estimates store} or {helpb eststo}.
|
|
It then displays the table in Stata's results window or writes it to a text
|
|
file specified by {cmd:using}. The default is to use {help smcl:SMCL}
|
|
formatting tags and horizontal lines to structure the table. However,
|
|
if {cmd:using} is specified, a tab-delimited table without lines
|
|
is produced.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
{it:namelist} provides the names of the stored estimation
|
|
sets to be tabulated. You may use the {cmd:*} and {cmd:?} wildcards in
|
|
{it:namelist}. The results estimated last may be indicated by a period
|
|
({cmd:.}), even if they have not yet been stored. If no model is
|
|
specified, {cmd:estout} tabulates the estimation sets stored by
|
|
{cmd:eststo} (see help {helpb eststo}) or, if no such estimates are
|
|
present, the currently active estimates (i.e. the model fit last).
|
|
{cmd:estout} may be used after any estimation command that
|
|
returns its results in {cmd:e()}.

for an alternative to the {cmd:estimates store} command.

|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
The default for {cmd:estout} is to produce a plain
|
|
table containing point estimates. Producing a fully formatted
|
|
end-product may involve specifying many options. However, note that a
|
|
simple-to-use {cmd:estout} wrapper producing pre-formatted
|
|
publication style tables is available as {helpb esttab}. Furthermore,
|
|
use {helpb estadd} to make additional results available for
|
|
tabulation (such as the standardized coefficients or the means and
|
|
standard deviations of the regressors) and {helpb estpost} to
|
|
tabulate results from non-estimation commands such as {helpb summarize}
|
|
or {helpb tabulate}.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
{cmd:estout} can also be used to tabulate the contents of a Stata
|
|
matrix (see help {helpb matrix}). Type {cmd:estout marix(}{it:name}{cmd:)},
|
|
where {it:name} is the name of the matrix, instead of providing a
|
|
{it:namelist} of stored estimation sets. See the
|
|
{help estout##ex7:examples} below. Alternatively, you may also specify
|
|
{cmd:e(}{it:name}{cmd:)} or {cmd:r(}{it:name}{cmd:)} to tabulate an
|
|
{cmd:e()}-matrix or an {cmd:r()}-matrix. The {cmd:cells()} option is
|
|
disabled if tabulating a matrix.

{marker cells}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:cells(}{it:array}{cmd:)} specifies the parameter statistics to be
|
|
reported and how they are to be arranged. The default is for cells to
|
|
report point estimates only, i.e. {cmd:cells(b)}. {cmd:cells(none)} may
|
|
be used to completely suppress the printing of parameter statistics.
|
|
Alternatively, {cmd:cells(b se)} would result in the reporting of point
|
|
estimates and standard errors. Multiple statistics are placed in
|
|
separate rows beneath one another by default. However, elements of
|
|
{it:array} that are listed in quotes or in parentheses, e.g.
|
|
{bind:{cmd:"b se"}} or {bind:{cmd:`"b se"'}} or {bind:{cmd:(b se)}},
|
|
are placed beside one another. For example, {bind:{cmd:cells("b p" se)}}
|
|
or, equivalently, {bind:{cmd:cells((b p) se)}} would produce a
|
|
table with point estimates and p-values beside one another in first row
|
|
and standard errors in the second row beneath the point estimates.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
The parameter statistics available are {cmd:b} (point estimates),
|
|
{cmd:se} (standard errors), {cmd:var} (variance), {cmd:t}
|
|
(t/z-statistics), {cmd:z} (synonym for {cmd:t}), {cmd:p} (p-values), and
|
|
{cmd:ci} (confidence
|
|
intervals; to display the lower and upper bounds in separate cells use
|
|
{cmd:ci_l} and {cmd:ci_u}). Any additional parameter statistics
|
|
included in the {cmd:e()}-returns for the models can be tabulated as
|
|
well. If, for example, {cmd:e(beta)} contains the standardized
|
|
coefficients, type {cmd:cells(beta)} to tabulate them (use
|
|
{helpb estadd} to add statistics such as the standardized coefficients to the
|
|
{cmd:e()}-returns of a model). The syntax {it:name}{cmd:[}{it:#}{cmd:]}
|
|
or {it:name}{cmd:[}{it:rowname}{cmd:]} can be used to refer to specific
|
|
rows in {cmd:e(}{it:name}{cmd:)}. For example, type {cmd:cell(ci_bc[1] ci_bc[2])}
|
|
or {cmd:cell(ci_bc[ll] ci_bc[ul])} to tabulate the lower and upper
|
|
bounds of the bias-corrected confidence intervals after {helpb bootstrap}.
|
|
The default is to report the results from the first row.
|
|
Also see the {cmd:eform} and {cmd:margin} options for more information
|
|
on the kinds of statistics that can be displayed.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
Further available elements in {it:array} are {cmd:_star},
|
|
{cmd:_sign}, and {cmd:_sigsign}. {cmd:_star} causes stars denoting the
|
|
significance of the coefficients to be printed (* for p<.05, ** for p<.01,
|
|
and *** for p<.001; customizable via the {cmd:starlevels()} option below).
|
|
{cmd:_star} places the significance stars in their own cells. See the
|
|
{cmd:star} suboption below if you want to attach the stars to another
|
|
element. {cmd:_sign} prints the signs of the coefficients ("+", "-", or
|
|
"0"). {cmd:_sigsign}, a combination of {cmd:_star} and {cmd:_sign}, repeats
|
|
the signs of the coefficients where the number of repetitions reflects the
|
|
level of significance (non-significant coefficients are left empty;
|
|
however, you may set the first level to 1 in the {cmd:starlevels()}
|
|
option).
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
Finally, {cmd:.} and {cmd:&} may be used in {it:array}. {cmd:.} inserts a
|
|
"null" element. Use this to add empty cells. For example,
|
|
{cmd:cells("b p" ". se")} would produce a table with point estimates in the
|
|
first column and p-values and standard errors beneath one another in the
|
|
second column. {cmd:&} is used to combine elements in the same cell. Use
|
|
the {helpb estout##incelldel:incelldelimiter()} option to specify the text to
|
|
be printed between the combined elements (the default is to print a
|
|
single blank). For example, in HTML, use {cmd:cell(b & se)} and
|
|
{cmd:incelldelimiter(<br>)} to include point estimates and standard
|
|
errors in a single cell and insert a line break between them.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
A set of suboptions may be specified in parentheses for each
|
|
element named in {it:array} (except for {cmd:.} and {cmd:&}). For example,
|
|
to add significance stars to the coefficients and place the standard errors
|
|
in parentheses, specify {bind:{cmd:cells(b(star) se(par))}}. The following
|
|
suboptions are available. Use:
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker cstar}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:star} to specify that stars denoting the significance of the
|
|
coefficients be attached to the statistic: {cmd:*} for p<.05,
|
|
{cmd:**} for p<.01, and {cmd:***} for p<.001. The symbols and the
|
|
values for the thresholds and the number of levels are fully customizable
|
|
(see the {help estout##sig:Significance stars} options).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker cfmt}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:fmt(}{it:{help estout##fmt:fmt}} [{it:{help estout##fmt:fmt}} ...]{cmd:)}
|
|
to specify the display format(s) of a statistic. It
|
|
defaults to {cmd:%9.0g} or the format for the first statistic in
|
|
{cmd:cells()}. If only one format is specified, it is used for all
|
|
occurrences of the statistic. For example, type
|
|
|
|
{p 20 20 2}
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, cells("b(fmt(3)) t(fmt(2))")}
|
|
|
|
{p 16 16 2}
|
|
to print coefficients and t-values beside one another using three
|
|
decimal places for coefficients and two decimal places for
|
|
t-values. If multiple formats are specified, the first format is
|
|
used for the first regressor in the estimates table, the second
|
|
format for the second regressor, and so on. The last format is used
|
|
for the remaining regressors if the number of regressors in the
|
|
table is greater than the number of specified formats. For
|
|
instance, type
|
|
|
|
{p 20 20 2}
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, cells(b(fmt(3 4 2)))}
|
|
|
|
{p 16 16 2}
|
|
to use three decimal places for the first coefficient, four decimal
|
|
places for the second, and two decimal places for all remaining
|
|
coefficients. Note that, regardless of the display format chosen,
|
|
leading and trailing blanks are removed from the numbers. White
|
|
space can be added by specifying a {cmd:modelwidth()} (see the
|
|
{help estout##lay:Layout} options). {it:{help estout##fmt:fmt}} may
|
|
be any of Stata's numerical display formats, e.g., {cmd:%9.0g} or
|
|
{cmd:%8.2f}, an integer {it:#} such as {cmd:1} or {cmd:3} to use a
|
|
fixed format with {it:#} decimal places, or {cmd:a}{it:#} such as
|
|
{cmd:a1} or {cmd:a3} to use {cmd:estout}'s adaptive display format
|
|
(see {help estout##fmt:Numerical formats} in the
|
|
{help estout##rem:Remarks} section for details).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker clabel}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:label(}{it:string}{cmd:)} to specify a label to appear in the
|
|
column heading. The default is the name of the statistic.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker cpar}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:par}[{cmd:(}{it:l} {it:r}{cmd:)}] to specify that the
|
|
statistic in question be placed in parentheses. It is also possible
|
|
to specify custom "parentheses". For example, {cmd:se(par({ }))}
|
|
would display the standard errors in curly brackets. Or,
|
|
{cmd:se(par(`"="("' `")""'))} will write parentheses in a way that
|
|
Excel can recognize. For {cmd:ci} the syntax is:
|
|
|
|
{p 20 20 2}
|
|
{cmd:ci(par}[{cmd:(}{it:l} {it:m} {it:r}{cmd:)}]{cmd:)}
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker cvacant}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:vacant(}{it:string}{cmd:)} to print {it:string} if a
|
|
coefficient is not in the model. The default is to leave such cells
|
|
empty.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker cdrop}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:drop(}{it:droplist} [{cmd:, relax}]{cmd:)} to cause certain
|
|
individual statistics to be dropped. For example, specifying
|
|
{cmd:t(drop(_cons))} suppresses the t-statistics for the constants.
|
|
{it:droplist} is specified as in the global
|
|
{helpb estout##drop:drop()} option (see below).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker ckeep}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:keep(}{it:keeplist} [{cmd:, relax}]{cmd:)} to cause certain
|
|
individual statistics to be kept. For example, the specification
|
|
{cmd:t(keep(mpg))} would display the t-statistics exclusively for
|
|
the variable {cmd:mpg}. {it:keeplist} is specified analogous to
|
|
{it:droplist} in {helpb estout##drop:drop()} (see below).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker cpattern}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:pattern(}{it:pattern}{cmd:)} to designate a pattern of models
|
|
for which the statistics are to be reported, where the {it:pattern}
|
|
consists of zeros and ones. A {cmd:1} indicates that the statistic
|
|
be printed; {cmd:0} indicates that it be suppressed. For example
|
|
{cmd:beta(pattern(1 0 1))} would result in {cmd:beta} being
|
|
reported for the first and third models, but not for the second.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker cpvalue}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:pvalue(}{it:name}{cmd:)} to specify the p-values used to
|
|
determine the significance stars (see {cmd:star} above). The
|
|
default is {cmd:pvalue(p)}, indicating that the standard p-values
|
|
are to be used (i.e. the p-values computed form the coefficients
|
|
vector and the variance matrix). Alternatively, specify
|
|
{cmd:pvalue(}{it:mypvalue}{cmd:)}, in which case the significance
|
|
stars will be determined from the values in
|
|
{cmd:e(}{it:mypvalue}{cmd:)}. Values outside [0,1] will be ignored.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker cabs}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:abs} to specify that absolute t-statistics be used instead of
|
|
regular t-statistics (relevant only if used with {cmd:t()}).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker ctranspose}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:transpose} to specify that {cmd:e(}{it:myel}{cmd:)} be transposed
|
|
for tabulation.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker drop}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:drop(}{it:droplist} [{cmd:, relax}]{cmd:)} identifies the coefficients
|
|
to be dropped from the table. A {it:droplist} comprises one or more
|
|
specifications, separated by white space. A specification can be either a
|
|
parameter name (e.g. {cmd:price}), an equation name followed by a colon
|
|
(e.g. {cmd:mean:}), or a full name (e.g. {cmd:mean:price}). You may use the
|
|
{cmd:*} and {cmd:?} wildcards in equation names and parameter names. Be sure
|
|
to refer to the matched equation names, and not to the original equation names
|
|
in the models, when using the {cmd:equations()} option to match equations.
|
|
Specify the {cmd:relax} suboption to allow {it:droplist} to contain elements
|
|
for which no match can be found.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker keep}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:keep(}{it:keeplist} [{cmd:, relax}]{cmd:)} selects the coefficients to
|
|
be included in the table. {it:keeplist} is specified analogous to {it:droplist} in
|
|
{helpb estout##drop:drop()} (see above). Note that {cmd:keep()} does {it:not} change the
|
|
the order of the coefficients. Use {cmd:order()} to change the order
|
|
of coefficients.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker order}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:order(}{it:orderlist}{cmd:)} changes the order of the
|
|
coefficients and equations within the table. {it:orderlist} is specified
|
|
analogous to {it:droplist} in {cmd:drop()} (see above). Reordering of
|
|
coefficients is performed equation by equation, unless equations are
|
|
explicitly specified. Coefficients and equations that do not appear in
|
|
{it:orderlist} are placed last (in their original order). Extra table rows
|
|
are inserted for elements in {it:orderlist} that are not found in the
|
|
table.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker indicate}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:indicate(}{it:groups} [{cmd:,} {cmdab:l:abels(}{it:yes}
|
|
{it:no}{cmd:)}]{cmd:)} indicates for each model (or, if {cmd:unstack}
|
|
is specified, for each equation) the presence of certain groups of
|
|
coefficients at the end of the table body. The syntax for {it:groups}
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
{it:group} [ {it:group} {it:...} ]
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
where a {it:group} is
|
|
|
|
[{it:name} = ] {it:list}
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
and {it:list} is a list of coefficient specifications as defined in
|
|
{cmd:drop()} above. The single groups should be enclosed in quotes
|
|
unless there is only one group and "{it:name} =" is specified. If
|
|
"{it:name} =" is omitted, the first element of {it:list} is used as
|
|
name. Note that {it:name} may contain spaces.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
For example, if some of the models contain a set of year
|
|
dummies, say {cmd:y1 y2 y3}, specify
|
|
|
|
{com}estout{txt} {it:...}{com}, indicate(year effects = y1 y2 y3){txt}
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
to drop the dummies from the table and add a "year effects" row
|
|
containing "Yes" for models in which {it:at least one} of the dummies
|
|
is present, and "No" for the other models.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
Use the {cmd:labels()} suboption to redefine the indication labels to
|
|
be printed in the table. The default is {cmd:labels(Yes No)}. Use
|
|
quotes if the labels include spaces,
|
|
e.g. {bind:{cmd:labels("in model" "not in model")}}.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker rename}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:rename(}{it:matchlist}{cmd:)} changes the names of individual
|
|
coefficients, where {it:matchlist} is
|
|
|
|
{p 12 12 2}
|
|
{it:oldname} {it:newname} [{it:oldname} {it:newname} ...]
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
{it:oldname} can be a parameter name (e.g. {cmd:price}) or a full
|
|
name including an equation specification (e.g. {cmd:mean:price})
|
|
(abbreviation and wildcards not allowed); {it:newname} is a name without
|
|
equation specification and must not already occur in a model's equation.
|
|
{cmd:rename()} is applied before matching the models and equations and can
|
|
therefore be used to merge different coefficients across models (or
|
|
equations if {cmd:unstack} is specified) into a single table row. See the
|
|
{cmd:varlabels()} option if you are interested in relabeling coefficients
|
|
after matching models and equations.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker equations}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:equations(}{it:matchlist}{cmd:)} specifies how the models' equations are
|
|
to be matched. The default is to match all first equations into one equation
|
|
(named {cmd:main}, if the equations have different names) and match the remaining
|
|
equations by name. Specify {cmd:equations("")} to match all equations by
|
|
name. Alternatively, specify {it:matchlist}, which has the syntax
|
|
|
|
{it:term} [{cmd:,} {it:term} ... ]
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
where {it:term} is
|
|
|
|
[{it:eqname} {cmd:=}] {it:#}{cmd::}{it:#}...{cmd::}{it:#}{col 50}(syntax 1)
|
|
|
|
[{it:eqname} {cmd:=}] {it:#}{col 50}(syntax 2)
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
In syntax 1, each {it:#} is a number or a period ({cmd:.}). If a number, it
|
|
specifies the position of the equation in the corresponding model;
|
|
{cmd:1:3:1} would indicate that equation 1 in the first model matches equation
|
|
3 in the second, which matches equation 1 in the third. A period indicates
|
|
that there is no corresponding equation in the model; {cmd:1:.:1} indicates
|
|
that equation 1 in the first matches equation 1 in the third.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
In syntax 2, you specify just one number, say, {cmd:1} or {cmd:2}, and that
|
|
is shorthand for {cmd:1:1}...{cmd::1} or {cmd:2:2}...{cmd::2}, meaning that
|
|
equation 1 matches across all models specified or that equation 2 matches
|
|
across all models specified.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
{it:eqname} is used to name the matched equations. If it is suppressed,
|
|
a name such as {cmd:#1} or {cmd:#2} etc. is used, depending on the position
|
|
of the {it:term}. For example, {cmd:equations(1)}
|
|
indicates that all first equations are to be matched into one equation
|
|
named {cmd:#1}. All equations not matched by position are
|
|
matched by name.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker eform}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:eform}[{cmd:(}{it:pattern}{cmd:)}] displays the coefficient table in
|
|
exponentiated form. The exponent of {cmd:b} is displayed in lieu of the
|
|
untransformed coefficient; standard errors and confidence intervals are
|
|
transformed as well. Specify a {it:pattern} if the exponentiation is to be
|
|
applied only for certain models. For instance, {cmd:eform(1 0 1)} would
|
|
transform the statistics for Models 1 and 3, but not for Model 2. Note that,
|
|
unlike {cmd:regress} and {cmd:estimates table}, {cmd:estout} in
|
|
eform-mode does not suppress the display of the intercept. To drop the
|
|
intercept in eform-mode, specify {cmd:drop(_cons)}. Note: {cmd:eform} is
|
|
implemented via the {cmd:transform()} option. If both options are specified,
|
|
{cmd:transform()} takes precedence over {cmd:eform}.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker transform}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:transform(}{it:list} [, {cmd:pattern(}{it:pattern}{cmd:)}]{cmd:)}
|
|
displays transformed coefficients, standard errors and
|
|
confidence intervals. {it:list} may be
|
|
|
|
{it:fx} {it:dfx}
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
where {it:fx} is the transformation function and {it:dfx} is its first
|
|
derivative. {it:fx} is applied to coefficients and confidence
|
|
intervals, that is, {it:fx}({cmd:b}) and {it:fx}({cmd:ci}) is displayed
|
|
instead of {cmd:b} and {cmd:ci}. {it:dfx} is used to delta transform
|
|
standard errors, i.e. {cmd:se}*{it:dfx}({cmd:b}) is displayed instead
|
|
of {cmd:se}. Use {cmd:@} as a placeholder for the function's argument
|
|
in {it:fx} and {it:dfx}. For example, type
|
|
|
|
{com}estout{txt} {it:...}{com}, transform(exp(@) exp(@)){txt}
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
to report exponentiated results (this is equivalent to specifying
|
|
the {cmd:eform} option).
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
Alternatively, {it:list} may be specified as
|
|
|
|
{p 12 12 2}
|
|
{it:coefs} {it:fx} {it:dfx} [ {it:...} [{it:coefs}] {it:fx} {it:dfx} ]
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
where {it:coefs} identifies the coefficients
|
|
to be transformed. Syntax for {it:coefs} is as explained above in the
|
|
description of the {cmd:drop()} option (however, include {it:coefs}
|
|
in quotes if it contains multiple elements). Say, a model has
|
|
two equations, {cmd:price} and {cmd:select}, and you want to
|
|
exponentiate the {cmd:price} equation but not the {cmd:select}
|
|
equation. You could then type
|
|
|
|
{com}estout{txt} {it:...}{com}, transform(price: exp(@) exp(@)){txt}
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
Note that omitting {it:coef} in the last transformation
|
|
specification causes the last transformation to be applied to
|
|
all remaining coefficients.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
Specify the {cmd:pattern()} suboption if the transformations are to be
|
|
applied only for certain models. For instance, {cmd:pattern(1 0 1)} would
|
|
apply the transformation to Models 1 and 3, but not Model 2.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker margin}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:margin}[{cmd:(}{cmd:u}|{cmd:c}|{cmd:p}{cmd:)}] indicates that the
|
|
marginal effects or elasticities be reported instead of the raw
|
|
coefficients. This option has an effect only if {cmd:mfx} has been
|
|
applied to a model before its results were stored (see help {helpb mfx}) or if a
|
|
{cmd:dprobit} (see help {helpb probit}), {cmd:truncreg,marginal}
|
|
(help {helpb truncreg}), or {cmd:dtobit} (Cong 2000) model is estimated. One
|
|
of the parameters {cmd:u}, {cmd:c}, or {cmd:p}, corresponding to the
|
|
unconditional, conditional, and probability marginal effects, respectively,
|
|
is required for {cmd:dtobit}. Note that the standard errors, confidence
|
|
intervals, t-statistics, and p-values are transformed as well.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
Using the {cmd:margin} option with multiple-equation models can be tricky.
|
|
The marginal effects of variables that are used in several equations are
|
|
printed repeatedly for each equation because the equations per se are
|
|
meaningless for {cmd:mfx}. To display the effects for certain equations only,
|
|
specify the {cmd:meqs()} option. Alternatively, use the {cmd:keep()} and
|
|
{cmd:drop()} options to eliminate redundant rows. The {cmd:equations()}
|
|
option might also be of help here.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker discrete}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:discrete(}{it:string}{cmd:)} may be used to override the default symbol and
|
|
explanatory text used to identify dummy variables when reporting marginal
|
|
effects. The first token in {it:string} is used as the symbol. The default is:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 12 2}
|
|
{inp:discrete(" (d)" for discrete change of dummy variable from 0 to 1)}
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
To display explanatory text, specify either the {cmd:legend} option or use
|
|
the {cmd:@discrete} variable (see the
|
|
{help estout##atvar:Remarks on using @-variables}).
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
Use {cmd:nodiscrete} to disable the identification of dummy variables as
|
|
such. The default is to indicate the dummy variables unless they have been
|
|
interpreted as continuous variables in all of the models for which results are
|
|
reported (for {cmd:dprobit} and {cmd:dtobit}, however, dummy variables will
|
|
always be listed as discrete variables unless {cmd:nodiscrete} is specified).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker meqs}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:meqs(}{it:eq_list}{cmd:)} specifies that marginals be printed only for the
|
|
equations in {it:eq_list}. Specifying this option does not affect how the
|
|
marginals are calculated. An {it:eq_list} comprises one or more equation
|
|
names (without colons) separated by white space. If you use the
|
|
{cmd:equations()} option to match equations, be sure to refer to the matched
|
|
equation names and not to the original equation names in the models.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker dropped}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:dropped}[{cmd:(}{it:string}{cmd:)}] causes null coefficients
|
|
(coefficients for which {cmd:e(b)} and {cmd:e(V)} is zero) to be indicated
|
|
as dropped. {it:string} specifies the text to be printed in place of
|
|
the estimates. The default text is "(dropped)".
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker level}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:level(}{it:#}{cmd:)} assigns the confidence level, in percent, for
|
|
the confidence intervals of the coefficients (see help {help level}).
|
|
|
|
{marker sum}
|
|
{dlgtab:Summary statistics}
|
|
{marker stats}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:stats(}{it:scalarlist}[{cmd:,} {it:stats_subopts}]{cmd:)} specifies
|
|
one or more scalar statistics - separated by white space - to be displayed
|
|
at the bottom of the table. The {it:scalarlist} may contain numeric
|
|
{cmd:e()}-scalars such as, e.g., {cmd:N}, {cmd:r2}, or {cmd:chi2}, but also
|
|
string {cmd:e()}-macros such as {cmd:cmd} or {cmd:depvar}. In
|
|
addition, the following statistics are available:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 24 2}
|
|
{cmd:aic}{space 5}Akaike's information criterion{p_end}
|
|
{p 12 24 2}
|
|
{cmd:bic}{space 5}Schwarz's information criterion{p_end}
|
|
{p 12 24 2}
|
|
{cmd:rank}{space 4}rank of {cmd:e(V)}, i.e. the number of free
|
|
parameters in model{p_end}
|
|
{p 12 24 2}
|
|
{cmd:p}{space 7}the p-value of the model (overall model significance)
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
See {bf:[R] estimates table} for details on the {cmd:aic} and {cmd:bic} statistics.
|
|
The rules for the determination of {cmd:p} are as follows (note that although
|
|
the procedure outlined below is appropriate for most models, there might be
|
|
some models for which it is not):
|
|
|
|
{p 12 15 2}
|
|
1) p-value provided: If the {cmd:e(p)} scalar is provided by the
|
|
estimation command, it will be interpreted as indicating the p-value
|
|
of the model.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 15 2}
|
|
2) F test: If {cmd:e(p)} is not provided, {cmd:estout} checks for the
|
|
presence of the {cmd:e(df_m)}, {cmd:e(df_r)}, and {cmd:e(F)}
|
|
scalars and, if they are present, the p-value of the model will be
|
|
calculated as {cmd:Ftail(df_m,df_r,F)}. This p-value corresponds to
|
|
the standard overall F test of linear regression.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 15 2}
|
|
3) chi2 test: Otherwise, if neither {cmd:e(p)} nor {cmd:e(F)} is
|
|
provided, {cmd:estout} checks for the presence of {cmd:e(df_m)} and
|
|
{cmd:e(chi2)} and, if they are present, calculates the p-value as
|
|
{cmd:chi2tail(df_m,chi2)}. This p-value corresponds to the
|
|
Likelihood-Ratio or Wald chi2 test.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 15 2}
|
|
4) If neither {cmd:e(p)}, {cmd:e(F)}, nor {cmd:e(chi2)}
|
|
is available, no p-value will be reported.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
Type {cmd:ereturn list} after estimating a model to see a list of
|
|
the returned {cmd:e()}-scalars and macros (see help {helpb ereturn}). Use
|
|
the {helpb estadd} command to add extra statistics and
|
|
other information to the {cmd:e()}-returns.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
The following {it:stats_subopts} are available. Use:
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker statsfmt}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:fmt(}{it:{help estout##fmt:fmt}} [{it:{help estout##fmt:fmt}} {it:...}]{cmd:)}
|
|
to set the display formats for the scalars statistics in {it:scalarlist}.
|
|
{it:{help estout##fmt:fmt}} may be any of Stata's numerical display
|
|
formats, e.g., {cmd:%9.0g} or {cmd:%8.2f}, an integer {it:#} such as
|
|
{cmd:1} or {cmd:3} to use a fixed format with {it:#} decimal places, or
|
|
{cmd:a}{it:#} such as {cmd:a1} or {cmd:a3} to use {cmd:estout}'s adaptive
|
|
display format (see {help estout##fmt:Numerical formats} in the {help
|
|
estout##rem:Remarks} section for details). For example, {cmd:fmt(3 0)}
|
|
would be suitable for {cmd:stats(r2_a N)}. Note that the last specified
|
|
format is used for the remaining scalars if the list of scalars is longer
|
|
than the list of formats. Thus, only one format needs to be specified if
|
|
all scalars are to be displayed in the same format. If no format is
|
|
specified, the default format is the display format of the coefficients.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker statslabels}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:labels(}{it:strlist}[{cmd:,} {it:{help estout##lsub:label_subopts}}]{cmd:)}
|
|
to specify labels for rows containing the scalar statistics. If
|
|
specified, the labels are used instead of the scalar names. For example:
|
|
|
|
{p 20 20 2}
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, stats(r2_a N, labels("Adj. R-Square" "Number of Cases"))}
|
|
|
|
{p 16 16 2}
|
|
Note that names like {cmd:r2_a} produce an error in LaTeX because the
|
|
underscore character has a special meaning in LaTeX (to print the
|
|
underscore in LaTeX, type {cmd:\_}). Use the {cmd:label()} suboption to
|
|
rename such statistics, e.g. {cmd:stats(r2_a, labels(r2\_a))}. An alternative
|
|
approach is to use {cmd:estout}'s {cmd:substitute()} option (see the
|
|
{help estout##lay:Layout} options).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker statsstar}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:star}[{cmd:(}{it:scalarlist}{cmd:)}] to specify that the overall
|
|
significance of the model be denoted by stars. The stars are attached to
|
|
the scalar statistics specified in {it:scalarlist}. If
|
|
{it:scalarlist} is omitted, the stars are attached to the first
|
|
reported scalar statistic. The printing of the stars is suppressed in
|
|
empty results cells (i.e. if the scalar statistic in question is missing
|
|
for a certain model). The determination of the model significance is
|
|
based on the p-value of the model (see above).
|
|
|
|
{p 16 16 2}
|
|
Hint: It is possible to attach the stars to different scalar statistics
|
|
within the same table. For example, specify
|
|
{cmd:stats(,star(r2_a r2_p))}
|
|
when tabulating OLS estimates and, say, probit estimates. For
|
|
the OLS models, the F test will be carried out and the significance
|
|
stars will be attached to the {cmd:r2_a}; for the probit models, the
|
|
chi2 test will be used and the stars will appear next to the
|
|
{cmd:r2_p}.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker statslayout}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:layout(}{it:array}{cmd:)} to rearrange the summary statistics. The default
|
|
is to print the statistics in separate rows beneath one another (in
|
|
each model's first column). The syntax for {it:array} is
|
|
|
|
<{it:row}> [ <{it:row}> ... ]
|
|
|
|
{p 16 16 2}
|
|
where {it:row} is
|
|
|
|
<{it:cell}> [ <{it:cell}> ... ]
|
|
|
|
{p 16 16 2}
|
|
and {cmd:@} is used as a placeholder for the statistics, one
|
|
after another. Rows and cells that contain blanks
|
|
have to be embraced in quotes. For example,
|
|
|
|
{com} ... stats(chi2 df_m N, layout("@ @" @)){txt}
|
|
|
|
{p 16 16 2}
|
|
prints for each model in row 1/column 1 the chi-squared, in
|
|
row1/column 2 the degrees of freedom, and in row 2/column 1 the number of
|
|
observations. Cells may contain multiple statistics and text other than
|
|
the placeholder symbol is printed as is (provided the cells' statistics are part
|
|
of the model). For example,
|
|
|
|
{com} ... stats(chi2 df_m N, layout(`""@ (@)""' @)){txt}
|
|
|
|
{p 16 16 2}
|
|
prints a cell containing "chi2 (df_m)" in the first row and the
|
|
number of observations in the second row. Note that the number of columns
|
|
in the table only depends on the {cmd:cells()} option (see above) and not
|
|
on the {cmd:layout()} suboption. If, for example, the table has two columns
|
|
per model and you specify three columns of summary statistics, the summary statistics
|
|
in the third column are not printed.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker statspchar}
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:pchar(}{it:symbol}{cmd:)} to specify the placeholder symbol
|
|
used in {cmdab:layout()}. The default placeholder is {cmd:@}.
|
|
|
|
{marker sig}
|
|
{dlgtab:Significance stars}
|
|
{marker starlevels}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:starlevels(}{it:levelslist}{cmd:)} overrides the default thresholds and
|
|
symbols for "significance stars". For instance,
|
|
{bind:{cmd:starlevels(+ 0.10 * 0.05)}}
|
|
sets the following thresholds: {cmd:+} for p<.10 and {cmd:*} for
|
|
p<.05. Note that the thresholds must lie in the (0,1] interval and must be
|
|
specified in descending order. To, for example, denote insignificant
|
|
results, type {bind:{cmd:starlevels(* 1 "" 0.05)}}.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker stardrop}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:stardrop(}{it:droplist} [{cmd:, relax}]{cmd:)}
|
|
identifies the coefficients for which the significance stars be
|
|
suppressed. {it:droplist} is specified as in
|
|
{helpb estout##drop:drop()} (see above).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker starkeep}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:starkeep(}{it:keeplist} [{cmd:, relax}]{cmd:)} selects the coefficients
|
|
for which the significance stars, if requested, be printed. {it:keeplist}
|
|
is specified analogous to {it:droplist} in
|
|
{helpb estout##drop:drop()} (see above).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker stardetach}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:stardetach} specifies that a delimiter be placed between the statistics
|
|
and the significance stars (i.e. that the stars are to be displayed in their
|
|
own column).
|
|
|
|
{marker lay}
|
|
{dlgtab:Layout}
|
|
{marker varwidth}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:varwidth(}{it:#}{cmd:)} specifies the number of characters used to display
|
|
the names (labels) of regressors and statistics (i.e. {cmd:varwidth}
|
|
specifies the width of the table's left stub). Long names (labels) are
|
|
abbreviated (depending on the {cmd:abbrev} option) and short or empty
|
|
cells are padded out with blanks to fit the width specified by the user.
|
|
{cmd:varwidth} set to 0 means that the names are not
|
|
abbreviated and no white space is added. Specifying low values may cause
|
|
misalignment.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker modelwidth}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:modelwidth(}{it:#} [{it:#} ...]{cmd:)} designates the number of characters
|
|
used to display the results columns. If a non-zero {cmd:modelwidth} is
|
|
specified, model names are abbreviated if necessary (depending on the
|
|
{cmd:abbrev} option) and short or empty results cells are padded out
|
|
with blanks. In contrast, {cmd:modelwidth} does not shorten or truncate
|
|
the display of the results themselves (coefficients, t-statistics,
|
|
summary statistics, etc.) although it may add blanks if needed.
|
|
{cmd:modelwidth} set to 0 means that the model names are not
|
|
abbreviated and no white space is added. Specifying low values may
|
|
cause misalignment. Specify a list of numbers in {cmd:modelwidth()} to
|
|
assign individual widths to the different results columns (the list is
|
|
recycled if there are more columns than numbers).
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
The purpose of {cmd:modelwidth} is to be able to construct a fixed-format
|
|
table and thus make the raw table more readable. Be aware, however, that the
|
|
added blanks may cause problems with the conversion to a table in word
|
|
processors or spreadsheets.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker unstack}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:unstack} specifies that the individual equations from multiple-equation
|
|
models (e.g. {cmd:mlogit}, {cmd:reg3}, {cmd:heckman}) be placed in
|
|
separate columns. The default is to place the equations below one another in a
|
|
single column. Summary statistics will be reported for each equation if
|
|
{cmd:unstack} is specified and the estimation command is either {cmd:reg3},
|
|
{cmd:sureg}, or {cmd:mvreg} (see help {helpb reg3}, help {helpb sureg},
|
|
help {helpb mvreg}).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker begin}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:begin(}{it:string}{cmd:)} specifies a string to be printed at the
|
|
beginning of every table row. It is possible to
|
|
use special functions such as {cmd:_tab} or {cmd:_skip} in
|
|
{cmd:begin()}. For more information on using such functions, see the
|
|
description of the functions in help {helpb file}.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker delimiter}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:delimiter(}{it:string}{cmd:)} designates the delimiter used between the

table columns. See the {cmd:begin} option above for further details.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker end}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:end(}{it:string}{cmd:)} specifies a string to be printed at the end of

|
every table row. See the {cmd:begin} option above for further details.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker incelldel}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:incelldelimiter(}{it:string}{cmd:)} specifies text to be printed
|
|
between parameter statistics that have been combined in a single cell
|
|
by the {cmd:&} operator. See the {helpb estout##par:cells()} option
|
|
for details. The default string is a single blank.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker dmarker}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:dmarker(}{it:string}{cmd:)} specifies the form of the decimal marker. The
|
|
standard decimal symbol (a period or a comma, depending on the input provided
|
|
to {cmd:set dp}; see help {help format}) is replaced by {it:string}.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker msign}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:msign(}{it:string}{cmd:)} determines the form of the minus sign. The
|
|
standard minus sign ({cmd:-}) is replaced by {it:string}.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker lz}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:lz} specifies that the leading zero of fixed format numbers in the
|
|
interval (-1,1) be printed. This is the default. Use {cmd:nolz} to advise
|
|
{cmd:estout} to omit the leading zeros (that is, to print numbers like
|
|
{cmd:0.021} or {cmd:-0.33} as {cmd:.021} and {cmd:-.33}).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker extracols}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:extracols(}{it:{help numlist}}{cmd:)} inserts empty table columns
|
|
at the indicated positions. For example, {cmd:extracols(1)} adds
|
|
an extra column between the left stub of the table and the first
|
|
column.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker substitute}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:substitute(}{it:subst_list}{cmd:)} specifies that the substitutions
|
|
specified in {it:subst_list} be applied to the estimates table after it has
|
|
been created. Specify {it:subst_list} as a list of substitution pairs, that
|
|
is:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 12 2}
|
|
{it:from} {it:to} [{it:from} {it:to} ...]
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
For example, specify {cmd:substitute(_ \_)} to replace the underscore
|
|
character (as in {cmd:_cons} or {cmd:F_p}) with it's LaTeX equivalent {cmd:\_}.
|
|
|
|
{marker lab}

|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker abbrev}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:abbrev} specifies that long names and labels be abbreviated if
|

a {cmd:modelwidth()} and/or a {cmd:varwidth()} is specified.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker wrap}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:wrap} causes long variable labels to be wrapped if space permits and
|
|
a {cmd:varwidth()} is specified. The {cmd:wrap} option is only useful if
|
|
several parameter statistics are printed beneath one another and, therefore,
|
|
white space is available beneath the labels.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker title}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:title(}{it:string}{cmd:)} may be used to specify a title for the table.
|
|
The {it:string} is printed at the top of the table unless {cmd:prehead()},
|
|
{cmd:posthead()}, {cmd:prefoot()}, or {cmd:postfoot()} is specified. In
|
|
the latter case, the variable {cmd:@title} can be used to insert the title.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker note}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:note(}{it:string}{cmd:)} may be used to specify a note for the table.
|
|
The {it:string} is printed at the bottom, of the table unless {cmd:prehead()},
|
|
{cmd:posthead()}, {cmd:prefoot()}, or {cmd:postfoot()} is specified. In
|
|
the latter case, the variable {cmd:@note} can be used to insert the note.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker legend}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:legend} adds a legend explaining the significance symbols and
|
|
thresholds.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker prehead}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:prehead(}{it:strlist}{cmd:)}, {cmd:posthead(}{it:strlist}{cmd:)},
|
|
{cmd:prefoot(}{it:strlist}{cmd:)}, and {cmd:postfoot(}{it:strlist}{cmd:)} may
|
|
be used to define lists of text lines to appear before and after the table
|
|
heading or the table footer. For example, the specification
|
|
|
|
{p 12 12 2}
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, prehead("\S_DATE \S_TIME" "")}
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
would add a line containing the current date and time followed by
|
|
an empty line before the table. Various substitution functions can be used
|
|
as part of the text lines specified in {it:strlist} (see the
|
|
{help estout##atvar:Remarks on using @-variables}). For example,
|
|
{cmd:@hline} plots a horizontal "line" (series of dashes, by default; see
|
|
the {cmd:hlinechar()} option) or {cmd:@M} inserts the number of models
|
|
in the table. {cmd:@M} could be used in a LaTeX table heading
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 12 2}
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, prehead(\begin{tabular}{l*{@M}{r}})}
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker hlinechar}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:hlinechar(}{it:string}{cmd:)} specifies the character(s) to be
|
|
used in {cmd:@hline}. The default is {cmd:hlinechar(-)}, resulting in a
|
|
dashed line. To produce a solid line, specify {cmd:hlinechar(`=char(151)')}
|
|
(Windows only; other systems may use other codes).
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker varlabels}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:varlabels(}{it:matchlist}[{cmd:,} {it:suboptions}]{cmd:)} may be used to
|
|
relabel the regressors from the models, where {it:matchlist} is
|
|
|
|
{p 12 12 2}
|
|
{it:name} {it:label} [{it:name} {it:label} ...]
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
A {it:name} is a parameter name (e.g. {cmd:price}) or a full name
|
|
(e.g. {cmd:mean:price}) (abbreviation and wildcards
|
|
not allowed). For example, specify {cmd:varlabels(_cons Constant)} to replace
|
|
each occurrence of {cmd:_cons} with {cmd:Constant}. (Note that, in LaTeX,
|
|
the underscore character produces an error unless it is specified as
|
|
{cmd:\_}. Thus, names such as {cmd:_cons} should always be changed if
|
|
the estimates table is to be used with LaTeX. The {cmd:substitute()} may also be
|
|
helpful; see the {help estout##lay:Layout} options.) The {it:suboptions} are:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:blist(}{it:matchlist}{cmd:)} to assign specific prefixes to
|
|
certain rows in the table body. Specify the {it:matchlist} as pairs of
|
|
regressors and prefixes, that is:
|
|
|
|
{p 20 20 2}
|
|
{it:name} {it:prefix} [{it:name} {it:prefix} ...]
|
|
|
|
{p 16 16 2}
|
|
A {it:name} is a parameter name (e.g. {cmd:price}), an equation name
|
|
followed by a colon (e.g. {cmd:mean:}), or a full name
|
|
(e.g. {cmd:mean:price}) (abbreviation and wildcards
|
|
not allowed). Note that equation names cannot be used if the
|
|
{cmd:unstack} option is specified.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:elist(}{it:matchlist}{cmd:)} to assign specific suffixes to
|
|
certain rows in the table body (see the analogous {cmd:blist()} option
|
|
above). This option may, for example, be useful for separating
|
|
thematic blocks of variables by
|
|
adding vertical space at the end of each block. A LaTeX example:
|
|
|
|
{p 20 20 2}
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, varlabels(,elist(price \addlinespace mpg \addlinespace))}
|
|
|
|
{p 16 16 2}
|
|
(the macro {cmd:\addlinespace} is provided by the
|
|
{cmd:booktabs} package in LaTeX)
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{it:{help estout##lsub:label_subopts}}, which are
|
|
explained in their own section.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker labcol2}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:labcol2(}{it:strlist}[{cmd:,} {it:suboptions}]{cmd:)} adds a second column
|
|
containing additional labels for the coefficients and summary statistics. Labels
|
|
containing spaces should be embraced in double quotes ({bind:{cmd:"}{it:label 1}{cmd:"}}
|
|
{bind:{cmd:"}{it:label 2}{cmd:"}} etc.). An example would be to add a column
|
|
indicating the hypothesized directions of effects, e.g.,
|
|
|
|
{com}. estout {txt}{it:...}{com}, labcol2(+ - +/- + 0){txt}
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
The {it:suboptions} are:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:title(}{it:strlist}{cmd:)} to add text in the table header above
|
|
the column. Use double quotes to break the title into several
|
|
rows (given there are multiple header rows), i.e. specify {it:strlist}
|
|
as {bind:{cmd:"}{it:line 1}{cmd:"}} {bind:{cmd:"}{it:line 2}{cmd:"}} etc.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:width(}{it:#}{cmd:)} to set the width, in number of characters, of the
|
|
column. The default is the value of {cmd:modelwidth()}.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker refcat}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:refcat(}{it:matchlist}[{cmd:,} {it:suboptions}]{cmd:)} may be used to
|
|
insert a row containing information on the reference category
|
|
of a categorical variable in the model. {it:matchlist} is
|
|
|
|
{p 12 12 2}
|
|
{it:name} {it:refcat} [{it:name} {it:refcat} ...]
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
A {it:name} is a parameter name (e.g. {cmd:_Irep78_2})
|
|
(abbreviation and wildcards not allowed). For
|
|
example, assume that you include the categorical variable {cmd:rep78}
|
|
("Repair Record 1978" from the auto dataset) in some of your models
|
|
using {cmd:xi} (see help {helpb xi}). Since {cmd:rep78} has five
|
|
levels, 1 through 5, {cmd:xi} will create 4 dummy variables,
|
|
{cmd:_Irep78_2} through {cmd:_Irep78_5}. You can now type
|
|
|
|
{p 12 12 2}
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, refcat(_Irep78_2 _Irep78_1)}
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
to add a table row containing "_Irep78_1" in the left stub and
|
|
"ref." in each column in which the {cmd:_Irep78_2}
|
|
dummy appears. The {it:suboptions} are:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:label(}{it:string}{cmd:)} to specify the label that is printed
|
|
in the table columns. The default is {cmd:label(ref.)}. Type {cmd:nolabel}
|
|
to suppress the default label.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:below} to position the reference category row below the specified
|
|
coefficient's row. The default is above. For example, if the 5th
|
|
category of {cmd:rep78} is used as reference category, i.e. if
|
|
{cmd:_Irep78_1} through {cmd:_Irep78_4} are included in the models,
|
|
you might want to type {cmd:refcat(_Irep78_4 _Irep78_5, below)}.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker mlabels}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:mlabels(}{it:strlist}[{cmd:,} {it:suboptions}]{cmd:)} determines the
|
|
model captions printed in the table heading. The default is to use the names of
|
|
the stored estimation sets (or their titles, if the {cmd:label} option is
|
|
specified and titles are available). The {it:suboptions} for use with
|
|
{cmd:mlabels} are:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:depvars} to specify that the name (or label) of the (first) dependent
|
|
variable of the model be used as model label.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:titles} to specify that, if available, the title of the stored
|
|
estimation set be used as the model label. Note that the {cmd:label} option
|
|
implies {cmd:titles} (unless {cmd:notitles} is specified). {cmd:depvars}
|
|
takes precedence over {cmd:titles}.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:numbers} to cause the model labels to be numbered consecutively.
|
|

{marker collabels}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:collabels(}{it:strlist}[{cmd:,} {it:{help estout##lsub:label_subopts}}]{cmd:)}
|
|
specifies labels for the columns within models or equations. The
|
|
default is to compose a label from the names or labels of the
|
|
statistics printed in the cells of that column. The {it:label_subopts}
|
|
are explained in their own section below.
|
|
{p_end}
|

{marker eqlabels}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:eqlabels(}{it:strlist}[{cmd:,} {it:suboptions}]{cmd:)}
|
|
labels the equations. The default is to use the equation names as
|
|
stored by the estimation command, or to use the variable labels if the
|
|
equation names correspond to individual variables and the {cmd:label}
|
|
option is specified. The {it:suboptions} for use with {cmd:eqlabels}
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:merge} to merge equation labels and parameter labels instead of
|
|
printing equation labels in separate rows. Equation and parameter labels
|
|
will be separated by ":" unless another delimiter is specified via the
|
|
{cmd:suffix()} suboption (see {it:{help estout##lsub:label_subopts}}).
|
|
{cmd:merge} has no effect if {cmd:unstack} is specified.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{it:{help estout##lsub:label_subopts}}, which are explained in their own
|
|
section. Note that {bind:{cmd:eqlabels(none)}} causes {cmd:_cons} to be
|
|
replaced with the equation name or label, if {cmd:_cons} is the only
|
|
parameter in an equation. This is useful, e.g., for tabulating
|
|
{cmd:ologit} or {cmd:oprobit} results in Stata 9. Specify
|
|
{bind:{cmd:eqlabels("", none)}} to not replace {cmd:_cons}.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker mgroups}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:mgroups(}{it:strlist}[{cmd:,} {it:suboptions}]{cmd:)} may be used to
|
|
labels groups of (consecutive) models at the top of the table heading. The
|
|
labels are placed in the first physical column of the output for the group of
|
|
models to which they apply. The {it:suboptions} for use with {cmd:mgroups}
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{cmd:pattern(}{it:pattern}{cmd:)} to establish how the models are to be grouped.
|
|
{it:pattern} should be a list of zeros and ones, with ones indicating the
|
|
start of a new group of models. For example,
|
|
|
|
{p 20 20 2}
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, mgroups("Group 1" "Group 2", pattern(1 0 0 1 0))}
|
|
|
|
{p 16 16 2}
|
|
would group Models 1, 2, and 3 together and then groups Models 4 and 5
|
|
together as well. Note that the first group will always start with the first
|
|
model regardless of whether the first token of {it:pattern} is a one or a
|
|
zero.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}
|
|
{it:{help estout##lsub:label_subopts}}, which are explained

{p_end}
|
|
{marker numbers}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:numbers}[{cmd:(}{it:l} {it:r}{cmd:)}] adds a row to the table header
|
|
displaying consecutive model numbers. The default is to
|
|
enclose the numbers in parentheses, i.e. {cmd:(1)}, {cmd:(2)}, etc.
|
|
Alternatively, specify {it:l} and {it:r} to change the tokens on the
|
|
left and right of each number. For example, {cmd:numbers("" ")")}
|
|
would result in {cmd:1)}, {cmd:2)}, etc.

{cmd:replace} permits {cmd:estout} to overwrite an existing file.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker append}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:append} specifies that the output be appended to an existing file. It

may be used even if the file does not yet exist.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker type}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:type} specifies that the assembled estimates table be printed in the
|
|
results window and the log file. This is the default unless {cmd:using} is
|
|
specified. Use {cmd:notype} to suppress the display of the table.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker showtabs}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:showtabs} requests that tabs be displayed as {cmd:<T>}s in both the
|
|
results window and the log file instead of in expanded form. This option does
|
|
not affect how tabs are written to the text file specified by {cmd:using}.
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker topfile}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:topfile(}{it:filename}{cmd:)} and
|
|
{cmd:bottomfile(}{it:filename}{cmd:)} may be used to insert text before
|
|
and after the table, where the text is imported from a file on disk. Note that
|
|
{cmd:substitute()} does not apply to text inserted by {cmd:topfile()} or
|
|
{cmdab:bottomfile()}.

{marker def}
|
|
{dlgtab:Defaults}
|
|
{marker style}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:style(}{it:style}{cmd:)} specifies a "style" for the output
|
|
table. {cmdab:def:aults:(}{it:style}{cmd:)} is a synonym for
|
|
{cmd:style(}{it:style}{cmd:)}. A "style" is a named combination of options
|
|
that is saved in an auxiliary file called {cmd:estout_}{it:style}{cmd:.def}.
|
|
In addition, there are five internal styles called {cmd:smcl}
|
|
(default for screen display), {cmd:tab} (export default), {cmd:fixed},
|
|
{cmd:tex}, and {cmd:html}. The {cmd:smcl} style is suitable for displaying
|
|
the table in Stata's results window and is the default unless
|
|
{cmd:using} is specified. It includes {help smcl:SMCL} formatting tags and
|
|
horizontal lines to structure the table. The particulars of the other styles are:
|
|
|
|
settings {col 38}styles
|
|
{col 26}{cmd:tab}{col 34}{cmd:fixed}{col 42}{cmd:tex}{col 50}{cmd:html}

|
|
(* if {cmd:label} is on)
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:tab} is the default export style (i.e. if {cmd:using} is specified).
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
Note that explicitly specified options take precedence
|
|
over settings provided by a style. For example, if you type
|
|
|
|
{com}. estout, delimiter("") style(tab){txt}
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
then the column delimiter will be set to empty string since the
|
|
{cmd:delimiter()} option overwrites the default from the {cmd:tab}
|
|
style. Similarly, specifying
|
|
{cmd:noabbrev} will turn abbreviation off if using the {cmd:fixed}
|
|
style.
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|

{marker lsub}
|
|
{it:{dlgtab:label_subopts}}
|
|
|

{p 4 4 2}
|
|
The following suboptions may be used within the {cmd:mgroups()},
|
|
{cmd:mlabels()}, {cmd:collabels()}, {cmd:eqlabels()},
|
|
{cmd:varlabels()}, and {cmd:stats(, labels())} options:
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:none} suppresses the printing of the labels or drops the
|
|
part of the table heading to which it applies. Note that instead of
|
|
typing {bind:{it:option}{cmd:(, none)}} you may simply specify
|
|
{it:option}{cmd:(none)}.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:prefix(}{it:string}{cmd:)} specifies a common prefix to be added to each
|
|
label.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:suffix(}{it:string}{cmd:)} specifies a common suffix to be added to each
|
|
label.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:begin(}{it:strlist}{cmd:)} specifies a prefix to be printed at the
|
|
beginning of the part of the table to which it applies. If {cmd:begin} is
|
|
specified in {cmd:varlabels()} or {cmd:stats(,labels())}, the prefix will
|
|
be repeated for each regressor or summary statistic.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:first} specifies that the first occurrence of the {cmd:begin()}-prefix in
|
|
{cmd:varlabels()} or {cmd:stats(,labels())} be printed. This
|
|
is the default. Use {cmd:nofirst} to suppress the first occurrence of the
|
|
prefix. In {cmd:varlabels()}, {cmd:nofirst} applies equation-wise, i.e., the first
|
|
{cmd:begin()}-prefix in each equation is suppressed (unless {cmd:unstack} is
|
|
specified).
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:end(}{it:strlist}{cmd:)} specifies a suffix to be printed at the end of the
|
|
part of the table to which it applies. If {cmd:end} is specified in
|
|
{cmd:varlabels()} or {cmd:stats(,labels())}, the suffix will be repeated
|
|
for each regressor or summary statistic.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:last} specifies that the last occurrence of the {cmd:end()}-suffix in
|
|
{cmd:varlabels()} or {cmd:stats(,labels())} be printed. This
|
|
is the default. Use {cmd:nolast} to suppress the last occurrence of the
|
|
suffix. In {cmd:varlabels()}, {cmd:nolast} applies equation-wise, i.e., the last
|
|
{cmd:end()}-suffix in each equation is suppressed (unless {cmd:unstack} is
|
|
specified).
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:replace} causes the label suboption {cmd:begin()}-prefix and {cmd:end()}-suffix
|
|
to be used instead of the global {cmd:begin()} and {cmd:end()} strings. The default
|
|
is to print both. {cmd:replace} also applies to {cmd:blist()} and {cmd:elist()}
|
|
if specified in {cmd:varlabels()}.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:span} causes labels to span columns, i.e. extends the labels across
|
|
several columns, if appropriate. This suboption is relevant only for the
|
|
{cmd:mgroups()}, {cmd:mlabels()}, {cmd:eqlabels()}, and
|
|
{cmd:collabels()} options. The {cmd:@span} string returns the number of
|
|
spanned columns if it is included in the label, prefix, or suffix. A LaTeX example:
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, mlabels(, span prefix(\multicolumn{@span}{c}{) suffix(}))}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:erepeat(}{it:string}{cmd:)} specifies a string that is repeated for each
|
|
group of spanned columns at the very end of the row if the {cmd:span}
|
|
suboption is specified. This suboption is relevant only for the
|
|
{cmd:mgroups()}, {cmd:mlabels()}, {cmd:eqlabels()}, and
|
|
{cmd:collabels()} options. If the {cmd:@span} string is included in
|
|
{it:string} it will be replaced by the range of columns spanned. A LaTeX example:
|
|
|
|
{p 8 8 2}
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, mlabels(, span erepeat(\cline{@span}))}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:lhs(}{it:string}{cmd:)} inserts {it:string} into the otherwise empty cell
|
|
in the left stub of the row of the table heading to which it applies. This
|
|
suboption is relevant only for the {cmd:mgroups()}, {cmd:mlabels()},
|
|
{cmd:eqlabels()}, and {cmd:collabels()} options.

The following suboptions may be applied within the {cmd:matrix()},
|

{cmd:e()}, or {cmd:r()} argument used to tabulate a matrix:
|
|
{p_end}
|
|
{marker mfmt}
|
|
{p 4 8 2}
|
|
{cmd:fmt(}{it:fmtlist}{cmd:)} sets the display formats for the matrix.
|
|
{it:fmtlist} contains a list of format specifications, one for each
|
|
column of the matrix. {it:fmtlist} is recycled if it supplies less
|
|
specifications than there are columns in the matrix. A format
|
|
specification may be a single {it:{help estout##fmt:fmt}} such as,
|
|
e.g., {cmd:%9.0g} or {cmd:a3} (see {help estout##fmt:Numerical formats}
|
|
in the {help estout##rem:Remarks} section for details) to be applied to
|
|
all cells in the column. Alternatively, a format specification may be
|
|
a list of {it:{help estout##fmt:fmt}}s, enclosed in double quotes, to be
|
|
used for the cells in the column one by one. The last format in the
|
|
list is used for the remaining cells if the number of cells in the
|
|
column is greater than the number of formats in the list. Also see the
|
|
{help estout##ex7:examples} below.

|
The full syntax of {cmd:estout} is rather complex and is to be found
|
|
above. However, consider the following basic syntax, which
|
|
includes only the most important options:
|
|
|
|
{p 8 15 2}
|
|
{cmd:estout} [ {it:namelist} ] [ {cmd:using} {it:filename} ] [ {cmd:,}
|
|
{cmdab:c:ells:(}{it:array}{cmd:)}
|
|
{cmdab:s:tats:(}{it:scalarlist}{cmd:)}
|
|
{cmdab:sty:le:(}{it:style}{cmd:)}
|
|
{it:more_options}
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
where {it:namelist} is a list of the names of stored estimation sets (the name
|
|
list can be entered as {cmd:*} to refer to all stored estimates). The
|
|
{cmd:cells()} and {cmd:stats()} options determine the primary contents of
|
|
the table. The {cmd:style()} option determines the basic formatting of the
|
|
table.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}{ul:Basic usage}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
The general procedure for using {cmd:estout} is to first store several
|
|
models using the {cmd:estimates store} or the {helpb eststo} command and then apply
|
|
{cmd:estout} to display or save a table of the estimates. By default,
|
|
{cmd:estout} displays a plain table of the coefficients of the models and
|
|
uses {help SMCL} tags and horizontal lines to structure the table:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}Alternatively, if {cmd:using} is specified, {cmd:estout} writes a
|
|
raw tab-delimited table (without SMCL tags and without lines) to the
|
|
indicated file ({cmd:*} is used in the following example to indicate that
|
|
all stored models be tabulated):
|
|
|
|
{com}. estout * using example.txt
|
|

|
|

|
|
{txt}
|
|
{p 4 4 2} The table looks messy in the Stata results window or the Stata
|
|
log because the columns are tab-separated (note that tab characters are not
|
|
preserved in the results window or the log). However, the table would look
|
|
tidy if "example.txt" were opened, for example, in a spreadsheet program.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}{ul:Choosing a style}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}{cmd:estout} has a {cmd:style()} option to set the basic format of
|
|
the table. The default style for screen display is the {cmd:smcl} style.
|
|
The default export style (i.e. if {cmd:using} is specified) is the
|
|
{cmd:tab} style. (See the examples above.) Other predefined styles are
|
|
{cmd:fixed}, {cmd:tex}, and {cmd:html}, but it is also possible to define
|
|
one's own styles (see {help estout##defaults:Defaults files} in the
|
|
{help estout##rem:Remarks} section). The {cmd:tex} style, for example, modifies
|
|
the output table for use with LaTeX's tabular environment:
|
|
|
|
{com}. estout *, style(tex) varlabels(_cons \_cons)
|
|
{res}
|
|
& m1& m2\\
|
|
& b& b\\
|
|
weight & 1.746559& 4.613589\\
|
|
mpg & -.0495122& .2631875\\
|
|
forXmpg & & -.3072165\\
|
|
foreign & & 11.24033\\
|
|
\_cons & 1.946068& -14.44958\\
|
|
{txt}
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
Note that {cmd:_cons} has been replaced by its LaTeX equivalent in the example above
|
|
using the {cmd:varlabels()} option (the underscore character produces an
|
|
error in LaTeX unless it is preceded by a backslash). For more
|
|
information on the {cmd:varlabels()} option, see {cmd:estout}'s
|
|
{help estout##lab:Labeling} options.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}{ul:The cells option}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
Use the {cmd:cells()} option to specify the parameter statistics to be
|
|
tabulated and how they are to be arranged. The parameter statistics
|
|
available are {cmd:b} (point estimates; the default), {cmd:se} (standard
|
|
errors), {cmd:t} (t-/z-statistics), {cmd:p} (p-values), {cmd:ci}
|
|
(confidence intervals; to display the lower and upper bounds in separate
|
|
cells use {cmd:ci_l} and {cmd:ci_u}), as well as any additional
|
|
parameter statistics included in the {cmd:e()}-returns for the models
|
|
(see {cmd:estout}'s {help estout##par:Parameter Statistics} options). For
|
|
example, {cmd:cells(b se)} results
|
|
in the reporting of point estimates and standard errors:
|
|
|
|
{com}. estout *, cells(b se)
|
|

|
|
Multiple statistics are placed in separate rows beneath one another by
|
|
default as in the example above. However, elements that are listed in
|
|
quotes or in parentheses are placed beside one another. For
|
|
example, specifying {bind:{cmd:cells("b se t p")}} or, equivalently,
|
|
{bind:{cmd:cells((b se t p))}} produces the following table:
|
|
|
|
{com}. estout m2, cells("b se t p")
|
|
{res}
|
|
{txt}{hline 64}
|

|
|
{txt}{hline 64}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
The two approaches can be combined. For example, {cmd:cells("b p" se)}
|
|
would produce a table with point estimates and standard errors beneath one
|
|
another in the first column and p-values in the top row of the second
|
|
column for each model.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
Note that for each statistic named in the {cmd:cells()} option a set of
|
|
suboptions may be specified in parentheses. For example, in social sciences
|
|
it is common to report standard errors or t-statistics in parentheses beneath
|
|
the coefficients and to indicate the significance of individual
|
|
coefficients with stars. Furthermore, the results are rounded. Just such a
|
|
table can be created using the following procedure:
|
|
|
|
{com}. estout *, cells(b(star fmt(3)) t(par fmt(2)))
|
|
{res}
|

|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
The {cmd:estout} default is to display {cmd:*} for p<.05,
|
|
{cmd:**} for p<.01, and {cmd:***} for p<.001. However, note that
|
|
the significance thresholds and symbols are fully customizable (see {cmd:estout}'s
|
|
{help estout##sig:Significance stars} options).

|
|
{p 4 4 2}{ul:The stats option}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
Finally, use the {cmd:stats()} option to specify scalar
|
|
statistics to be displayed for each model in the table footer. The
|
|
available scalar statistics are {cmd:aic} (Akaike's information criterion),
|
|
{cmd:bic} (Schwarz's information criterion), {cmd:rank} (the rank of
|
|
{cmd:e(V)}, i.e. the number of free parameters in model), {cmd:p} (the
|
|
p-value of the model), as well as any numeric or string scalars contained in the
|
|
{cmd:e()}-returns for the models (see
|
|
{cmd:estout}'s
|
|
{help estout##sum:Summary statistics} options). For example, specify
|
|
{cmd:stats(r2 bic N)} to add the R-squared, BIC, and the number of cases:

|
{com}. estout *, stats(r2 bic N)

{p 4 4 2}
|
|
Numerical display formats may be specified in {cmd:estout}
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
{p 5 8 2}
|
|
1. Official Stata's display formats: You may specify formats, such as
|
|
{cmd:%9.0g} or {cmd:%8.2f}. See help {help format} for a list
|
|
of available formats. {cmd:%g} or {cmd:g} may be used as a
|
|
synonym for {cmd:%9.0g}.
|
|
|
|
{p 5 8 2}
|
|
2. Fixed format: You may specify an integer value such as {cmd:0},
|
|
{cmd:1}, {cmd:2}, etc. to request a display format with a fixed number
|
|
of decimal places. For example, {cmd:cells(t(fmt(3)))} would display
|
|
t-statistics with three decimal places.
|
|
|
|
{p 5 8 2}
|
|
3. Automatic format: You may specify {cmd:a1}, {cmd:a2}, ..., or
|
|
{cmd:a9} to cause {cmd:esttab} to choose a reasonable display format for
|
|
each number depending on the number's value. {cmd:a} may be used as a
|
|
synonym for {cmd:a3}. The {it:#} in
|
|
{cmd:a}{it:#} determines the minimum precision according to the
|
|
following rules:
|
|
|
|
{p 10 12 2}
|
|
o Absolute numbers smaller than 1 are displayed with {it:#}
|
|
significant decimal places (i.e. with {it:#} decimal places ignoring
|
|
any leading zeros after the decimal point). For example,
|
|
{cmd:0.00123456} is displayed as {cmd:0.00123} if the format is
|
|
{cmd:a3}.
|
|
|
|
{p 10 12 2}
|
|
o Absolute numbers greater than 1 are displayed with as many digits
|
|
required to retain at least one decimal place and are displayed with
|
|
a minimum of ({it:#} + 1) digits. For example, if the format is
|
|
{cmd:a3}, {cmd:1.23456} is displayed as {cmd:1.235}, {cmd:12.3456} is
|
|
displayed as {cmd:12.35}, and {cmd:1234.56} is displayed as
|
|
{cmd:1234.6}.
|
|
|
|
{p 10 12 2}
|
|
o In any case, integers are displayed with zero decimal places, and
|
|
very large or very small absolute numbers are displayed in
|
|
exponential format.
|
|
|
|
{marker spchar}
|
|
{dlgtab:Special characters}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
The {cmd:\} and {cmd:$} characters and quotation marks have
|
|
special meanings in Stata. You should therefore consider the following
|
|
instructions if you, for example, intend to specify akward delimiters or
|
|
specify special characters in labels:
|
|
|
|
{p 6 8 2}- Strings containing unmatched quotes should be enclosed in compound double
|
|
quotes (thus, {cmd:delimiter(`"""')} results in columns
|
|
delimited by {cmd:"}, while {cmd:delimiter(")} produces an error).
|
|
|
|
{p 6 8 2}- The backslash character is used to delay macro expansion in
|
|
Stata. Specifying {cmd:\\} in Stata 8 just results in the printing of {cmd:\}. To get
|
|
a double backslash in Stata 8 (the {cmd:\newline} command in TeX), type {cmd:\\\}.
|
|
|
|
{p 6 8 2}- The dollar sign is used for global macro expansion in Stata. Thus,
|
|
{cmd:$x} would result in the display of the contents of global macro
|
|
{cmd:x} (or nothing, if the macro is empty). Therefore, use
|
|
{cmd:\$} to produce {cmd:$} in the output. For math mode in LaTeX I
|
|
recommend using {cmd:\(}...{cmd:\)} instead of {cmd:$}...{cmd:$}.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
Stata's {cmd:char()} function may also be used to specify odd characters
|
|
(see help {help strfun}). In particular, {cmd:"`=char(9)'"}
|
|
results in a tab character and {cmd:"`=char(13)'"} results
|
|
in a carriage return. For example, {bind:{cmd:delimiter(" `=char(9)' ")}}
|
|
specifies that a tab character with a leading and
|
|
a trailing blank be used as delimiter.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2} {it:Tip:} It is sometimes very useful to set the format of all cells in a
|
|
spreadsheet to "Text" before pasting the estimates table. This prevents the
|
|
spreadsheet program from trying to interpret the cells and ensures that the contents
|
|
of the table remain unchanged.
|
|

{marker atvar}
|
|
{dlgtab:Using @-variables}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
{cmd:estout} features several variables that can be used within string
|
|
specifications. The following list provides an overview of these variables.
|
|
|
|
{p 5 8 2}o{space 2}In {cmd:prehead()}, {cmd:posthead()}, {cmd:prefoot()},
|
|
and {cmd:postfoot()}, in the {cmd:begin()} and {cmd:end()} label
|
|
suboptions, and in the {cmd:blist()} and {cmd:elist()} suboptions
|
|
in {cmd:varlabels()}:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}{cmd:@span} to return the value of a count variable for the total number of physical
|
|
columns of the table.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}{cmd:@M} to return the number of models in the table.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}{cmd:@E} to return the total number columns containing separate equations.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}{cmd:@width} to return the total width of the table (number of characters).
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}{cmd:@hline} to return a horizontal line (series of dashes, by default;
|
|
see the {cmd:hlinechar()} option).
|
|
|
|
{p 5 8 2}o{space 2}In {cmd:prehead()}, {cmd:posthead()}, {cmd:prefoot()},
|
|
and {cmd:postfoot()}:
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}{cmd:@title} to return the title specified with the {cmd:title()} option.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}{cmd:@note} to return the note specified with the {cmd:note()} option.
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}{cmd:@discrete} to return the explanations provided by the
|
|
{cmd:discrete()} option (provided that the {cmd:margin} option is activated).
|
|
|
|
{p 12 16 2}{cmd:@starlegend} to return a legend explaining the significance symbols.
|
|
|
|
{p 5 8 2}o{space 2}In the {cmd:prefix()} and {cmd:suffix()} suboptions of {cmd:mgroups()},
|

{p 5 8 2}o{space 2}In the {cmd:erepeat()} suboption of
|
|
{cmd:mgroups()}, {cmd:mlabels()}, {cmd:eqlabels()}, and

|
|
To make available an own set
|
|
of default options, proceed as follows:
|
|
|
|
{p 8 11 2}
|
|
1. Download "estout_mystyle.def" from the SSC
|
|
Archive (click
|
|
{stata "copy http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/e/estout_mystyle.def estout_mystyle.def, text":here}
|
|
to copy the file from SSC and store it in the working directory).
|
|
|
|
{p 8 11 2}
|
|
2. Open "estout_mystyle.def" in a text editor and make the desired modifications
|
|
(click {stata "doedit estout_mystyle.def":here} to open "estout_mystyle.def" in Stata's Do-File
|
|
Editor).
|
|
|
|
{p 8 11 2}
|
|
3. Save the file in the current directory or elsewhere
|
|
in the ado-file path as {cmd:estout_}{it:newstyle}{cmd:.def} (see help {help sysdir}).
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}To use the new options set in {cmd:estout}, then type:
|
|
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...} {inp:, style(}{it:newstyle}{inp:)}
|
|
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}{ul:Defaults files syntax:}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
{cmd:estout} has two main types of options, which are treated differentially
|
|
in defaults files. On the one hand, there are simple on/off options without
|
|
arguments, like {cmd:legend} or {cmd:showtabs}. To turn such an option on,
|
|
enter the option followed by the options name as an argument, i.e. add the line
|
|
|
|
{it:option} {it:option}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
to the defaults file. For example,
|
|
|
|
{inp:legend legend}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
specifies that a legend be printed in the table footer. Otherwise, if you want
|
|
to turn the option of, just delete or comment out the line that contains it (or
|
|
specify {it:option} without an argument).
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
To temporarily turn off an option that has been activated in a defaults file,
|
|
specify {cmd:no}{it:option} in the command line (do not, however, use
|
|
{cmd:no}{it:option} in defaults files). For example, if the legend has been
|
|
turned on in the defaults file, but you want to suppress it in a specific call of
|
|
{cmd:estout}, type
|
|
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, nolegend}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
On the other hand, there are options that take arguments, such as
|
|
{cmd:prehead(}{it:args}{cmd:)}, {cmd:delimiter(}{it:args}{cmd:)}, or
|
|
{cmd:stats(}{it:args}{cmd:,} {it:...}{cmd:)}. Such options are specified as
|
|
|
|
{it:option} {it:args}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
in the defaults file (where {it:args} must not include suboptions; see
|
|
below). Specifying an option in the command line overwrites the settings from
|
|
the defaults file. However, note that a {cmd:no} form, which exists for the
|
|
first options type, is not available here.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
Last but not least, there are two options that reflect a combination of the first
|
|
and second types: {cmd:eform}[{cmd:(}{it:args}{cmd:)}] and
|
|
{cmd:margin}[{cmd:(}{it:args}{cmd:)}]. These options can be specified
|
|
as either
|
|
|
|
{it:option} {it:option}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
{it:option} {it:args}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
in the defaults file; the {cmd:no} form is allowed.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
Many {cmd:estout} options have suboptions, i.e., an option might take the
|
|
form {it:option}{cmd:(}{it:...}{cmd:,} {it:suboption}{cmd:)} or
|
|
{it:option}{cmd:(}{it:...}{cmd:,} {it:suboption}{cmd:(}{it:args}{cmd:))}. In
|
|
the defaults file, the suboptions cannot be included in the
|
|
definition of a higher-level option. Instead, they must be
|
|
specified in their own lines, as either
|
|
|
|
{it:optionsuboption} {it:suboption}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
{it:optionsuboption} {it:args}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
In the case of a two-level nesting of options, the name
|
|
used to refer to the suboption is a concatenation of the option's name and the
|
|
suboption's name,
|
|
i.e. {cmd:"}{it:optionsuboption}{cmd:"="}{it:option}{cmd:"+"}{it:suboption}{cmd:"}. For
|
|
example, the {cmd:labels()} suboption of the {cmd:stats()} option would be
|
|
set by the term {cmd:statslabels}. Analogously, the three level nesting in
|
|
the {cmd:stats()} option yields suboption names composed of three names. For
|
|
instance, the suboption called by the command
|
|
|
|
{inp:. estout} {it:...}{inp:, stats(}{it:...}{inp:, labels(}{it:...}{inp:, prefix(}{it:args}{inp:)))}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
would be referred to as
|
|
|
|
{inp:statslabelsprefix} {it:args}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
in the defaults file. The {cmd:cells()} option represents an exception to
|
|
this rule. It may be defined in the defaults file using
|
|
only a plain array of cells elements without suboptions, e.g.
|
|
|
|
{inp:cells "b se" p}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
However, the suboptions of the cells elements may be referred to as
|
|
{it:el_suboption}, for example
|
|
|
|
{inp:b_star star}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 2}
|
|
or

{p 4 4 2}
|
|
Be aware that the support for comments in defaults files is limited. In
|
|
particular, the {cmd:/*} and {cmd:*/} comment indicators cannot be used.
|
|
The other comment indicators work (more or less) as usual, that is:
|
|
|
|
{p 5 8 2}
|
|
o{space 2}Empty lines and lines beginning with {cmd:*} (with or without preceding

o{space 2}{cmd://} preceded by one or more blanks indicates that the rest of the
|
|
line should be ignored. Lines beginning with {cmd://} (with or without preceding
|
|
blanks) will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
{p 5 8 2}
|
|
o{space 2}{cmd:///} preceded by one or more blanks indicates that the rest of the
|
|
line should be ignored and the part of the line preceding it should be added to
|
|
the next line. In other words, {cmd:///} can be used to split commands into
|
|
two or more lines of code.
