Hi statalisters,
Is there a way to show tables of frequencies and
proportions (row or column) like in the tabulate
command but with the proportions side by side with the
frequencies?
Something like (row proportions case):
Education Level
High | Low
Gender N (%) | N(%)
-------------------------------
Male 4 (40.0) | 6 (60.0)
Female 3 (15.0) | 17 (85.0)
--------------------------------
I tried to implement it using something like
preserve
gen cons=1
bysort gender:egen N=sum(cons)
bysort gender education:egen n=sum(cons)
bysort gender education:keep if _n==1
gen perc=n/N*100
.
.
reshape ....
list ....
restore
but I had problems dealing with cells with zero
frequencies. I also did a quick search (findit,
archives) without success.
The primary use of such a command would be
copy-pasting in word processors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
