I have difficulty knowing what the difficulty is
here, as you are quoting all that you need to
know. However, this may help:
. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)
. tabstat mpg rep78, save
stats | mpg rep78
---------+--------------------
mean | 21.2973 3.405797
------------------------------
. ret li
matrices:
r(StatTotal) : 1 x 2
. mat total = r(StatTotal)
. mat li total
total[1,2]
mpg rep78
mean 21.297297 3.4057971
. di total[1,1]
21.297297
. di total[1,2]
3.4057971
In addition, some have found that -tabstatmat-
from SSC is helpful in following up -tabstat-.
