Speaking Stata: Output to order

Stata Journal, 2012, vol. 12, issue 1, 147-158

Abstract: Wanting to present Stata output in a different way is a very common desire that lies behind many substantial user-written programs. Here I start at the beginning with some basic tips and tricks. I discuss using display to replay the results you want; putting results into new variables so that they can be listed, tabulated, or plotted; and using existing reduction commands to produce new datasets containing results.

Keywords: collapse; contract; display; egen; estimates; foreach; format; forvalues; generate; list; postfile; quietly; replace; saved results; SMCL; statsby; tabdisp (search for similar items in EconPapers)
