Abstract: stat2data, a wrapper for and ostensibly an extension of the Stata's official tabstat command, generates a dataset of descriptive statistics calculated for a list of variables. stat2data's output is different from that of collapsing a dataset using the collapse command. In the dataset generated by stat2data, the statistics are in columns and the variables for which the statistics were calculated are in rows. In other words, statistics become variables and variables become observations.
