{title:Description}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}
|
|
{cmd:outreg2} provides a fast and easy way to produce an illustrative table
|
|
of regression outputs. The regression outputs are produced piecemeal and are
|
|
difficult to compare without some type of rearrangement. {cmd:outreg2}
|
|
automates this process by concatenating the successive regression ouputs in a
|
|
vertical format. The resulting table is saved to the disk in ASCII
|
|
format, which can be read by other programs.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}
|
|
{cmd:outreg2} thus facilitates the convertion of regression outputs to a standard
|
|
format suitable for inclusion in a scholarly publication. The functionality of outreg2
|
|
is based on the earlier package {help cmd:outreg}, by John Gallup. {help outreg2##s_Differences:Unlike}
|
|
{cmd:outreg}, {cmd:outreg2} is capable of writing LaTeX-format tables, as well as ASCII, MS Word
|
|
and MS Excel.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}
|
|
{cmd:outreg2} can report any regression output, provided it conforms to
|
|
{it:the} {it:usual} {it:convention} for {help ereturn:ereturn list}. This includes
|
|
most regression commands in Stata 7 or later. {cmd:outreg2} will report the latest regression output
|
|
by default, or the list of {help estimates:stored estimates}. The ancillary statistics from from stored
|
|
{help return} can also be accessed using {opt e( )} or {opt adds:tat( )}.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}
|
|
{cmd:outreg2} will also report the usual statistics such as standard error with the asterisks for the levels of
|
|
significance (1%, 5%, and 10%), t-statistics, p-values, the number of observations,
|
|
R-squareds, and the number of groups in a panel estimation. Standarized beta
|
|
coefficients, exponentially transformed coefficients (i.e. odds/risk ratios
|
|
or hazard rate). The user can add their own column titles with {opt ct:itle} and {opt addn:ote} options.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}
|
|
An immediate access to the produced table is provided in the browser view with
|
|
{opt see} option. {cmd:outreg2} also comes with automatically formatted number of
|
|
significant digits, which avoids the awkward displays assoicated with the fixed
|
|
format.

in the full specification. The estimated effect of weight can be shown to be downward-biased from

exists in all the stored estiamtes. Since not all equations may contain the

In {cmd:MS Word}, open or insert the file created by {cmd:outreg2}. Select the estimation text that
|
|
is in columns (not the notes at the bottom of the table or the title at the top, if any), and choose
|
|
Table, Convert Text to Table.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}To shift the table within {cmd:MS Word}, highlight the entire table, choose Table
|
|
Properties (go the top menu, drag down on the Table option), and then click the alignment as
|
|
Left instead of Center.
|
|

|
|
In {cmd:Excel}, open the file created by {cmd:outreg2} and follow the default choices
|
|
in the Text Import Wizard (if you do not see the file, choose All Files as the File Type).
|
|
Prevent the conversion of the parenthesis into a negative number (an accounting convention)
|
|
by doing the following: 1. import it as "Delimited", 2. choose Tab as the Delimiters, and
|
|
3. Choose "Text" as Column data format after Highlighting all the columns by shift-down, right-clicking.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}If you wish to export the
|
|
.xml table to a word processor, you should separately copy the table and the notes
|
|
at the bottom of the table (prevents the notes from taking up too much space). You
|
|
can avoid this problem by opening the .txt file manually from inside {cmd:MS Excel},
|
|
as detailed earlier, or copy and paste the notes into another cells in
|
|
{cmd:MS Excel}, which will cause them to be displayed properly.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}To get rid of "green tabs" in Excel: From inisde Excel, Tools > Options > Error Checking.
|
|
When you get there, uncheck "Number stored as text". No more green triangles.

|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}
|
|
You can also use {cmd:{browse "http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/data/convert2.html":Stat/Transfer}}
|
|
if you have one. Choose ASCII-Delimited as the input file and choose {cmd:Excel}
|
|
as the output file. You will need to adjust the column widths from inside
|
|
{cmd:Excel}.

|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}
|
|
{cmd:LaTeX} compatible table can be created with {opt tex} option. With the use
|
|
of free conversion software, such as MiKTeX, you can create Adobe PDF files of
|
|
the finished tables directly within Stata by invoking a shell command.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}{stata regress mpg foreign weight}{p_end}
|
|
{p 4 4 6}{stata outreg2 using myfile, tex replace}{p_end}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}{cmd:outreg2's} TeX tables are fully formatted, unlike the ASCII tables. This
|
|
requires free TeX to Adobe PDF conversion software, such as the MiKTeX
|
|
(www.miktek.org) for Windows or teTeX (www.tug.org/teTeX/) for Unix/Linux. The
|
|
whole process is automated in Stata with a shell command:{p_end}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}{stata !texify -p -c -b --run-viewer myfile.tex} {using MiKTeX on Windows){p_end}
|
|
{p 4 4 6}{stata !pdflatex myfile} (using teTeX on Linux){p_end}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}{cmd:outreg2} cannot append TeX format tables to one another, so regressions must be
|
|
appended in ASCII form until the last regression, which is appended with the
|
|
{opt tex} option.{_end}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}The base font point size of tex in a TeX table can be specified with the {opt tex()}
|
|
parameter. TeX only allows font sizes of 10 and 11 points besides the default
|
|
of 12 point. The {opt texfrag} option creates a TeX fragment for inclusion in a larger
|
|
TeX document. For example, a TeX fragment table from the first regression above could be created with
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}{stata outreg2 using myfile, tex(frag)}{p_end}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}and then be included in the following TeX document with the \input{myfile}
|
|
command:{p_end}
|
|
|
|
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
|
|
\begin{document}
|
|
... text before inclusion of table myfile.tex ...
|
|
\input{myfile}
|
|
... text after inclusion of table myfile.tex ...
|
|
\end{document}
|
|
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}Technical Note: Many of the non-alphanumeric characters have special meaning
|
|
in TeX, namely _, %, #, $, &, ~, ^^, \, {, }. If you want these characters to
|
|
be printed in TeX like any other character, include a \ in front of the
|
|
character. {cmd:outreg2} automatically does this for the first two, _ and %,
|
|
because _ often turns up in Stata variable names and % is common in variable
|
|
labels and explanatory notes. You can include the other characters in titles,
|
|
variable labels, or notes if you preceed them with with a \ in the Stata text.
|
|
The exception is \ itself; \ must be replaced with $\backslash$ to render
|
|
properly in TeX.{p_end}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}In addition, in TeX the characters <, >, and | will only appear as themselves
|
|
in math mode, so they must be written as $<$, $>$, and $|$.{p_end}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}TeX codes can be inserted into {cmd:outeg2} titles, variable labels, and added
|
|
notes. This requires understanding TeX formatting codes. The example below
|
|
creates a Greek letter chi with a squared exponent for a chi-squared test
|
|
statistic.{p_end}
|
|
|
|
{phang2}{stata outreg2 using myfile0, addstat($\chi^2$, 22.1) tex}{p_end}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}I said above that {cmd:outreg2} automatically converted _ to \_. An exception is
|
|
when it finds two $'s in the text, in which case it assumes the _ is a
|
|
subscript designator in a TeX inline equation. That means that if you want to
|
|
add text that includes an inline equation, but you really want the _ to appear
|
|
as such in the TeX table, you must replace it with a \_.{p_end}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}Be careful when using $. When $ is immediately followed by a letter, Stata
|
|
will interpret this as a global macro. To get Stata to output a literal $,
|
|
precede it with "\": \$. If you want, for example, a properly TeX typeset
|
|
R-squared to survive in {cmd:outreg2}, rather than "$R^2$" you must use "\$R^2$".
|
|
$R would be evaluated by {cmd:outreg2} as the value of global macro R, which is
|
|
probably empty.{p_end}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}Putting a literal "$" in TeX output can be confusing: to get "$US" in the TeX
|
|
output, for example, one needs "\$US" in the TeX input file, which requires
|
|
"\\\$US" in Stata text, because Stata resolves "\\" into "\" and "\$" into "$".{p_end}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 4 6}A final quirk: you cannot use the results of the Stata macro $S_FN in {cmd:outreg2}
|
|
text for a TeX table if you use Microsoft Windows. $S_FN returns the path name
|
|
for the current data file which in Windows includes \ characters which will
|
|
prevent the TeX table from rendering properly.{p_end}

the default: {opt append}, {opt 3aster}, {opt coefastr}, {opt se}, and {opt nolabel}.
|

(used to be less than or equal to). bdec and bfmt no longer take multiple inputs.
|

{p 4 4 6}
|
|
The embedded spaces in the folder names are now accepted. {opt ti:tle(list)} can be added anytime.
|
|
The .out extension is phased out in favor of .txt extension. A new file will be created if it did not exist.
|
|
The past restrictions on the number and the size of variable names have been
|
|
generally expanded to the system limit.{p_end}
