Hello Statalist,
�
I need a rather simple table of summary stats, but having trouble identifying which of the many Stata commands (tabstat, tab, tabi, tab1, etc.) will do what I need.� Please, someone point me in the right direction.
�
The data is for meta-analysis. I am trying to output descriptives for several categorical variables, and the summary statistics per category reflect the count of studies, % of total studies, sum of sample n's, and % of total sample N that contribute to each category.� The % of subjects is the element that is making this tricky. There are many categorical variables, so I want to avoid doing this as a piecemeal caclulation.
�
Categ. Var.���� Study(n)�� Study(%)�� Subj.(n)�� Subj.(%)
��������������� (N=100)�������������� (N=1,000)
---------------------------------------------------------
Age
�� Child��������� 50������� .50��������� 400������ .40
�� Teen���������� 50������� .50��������� 600������ .60
Family SES��
�� Low����������� 35������� .35��������� 400������ .40
�� Middle�������� 55������� .65��������� 480������ .48
�� High���������� 10������� .10��������� 120������ .12
etc..............................���

Thanks very much,
Wendy
