Re:Re: st: est2tex, significance levels
The p-value is directly obtained from the t distribution.
You can also try the following command :
estimates table,star(0.10 0.05 0.01) /*respectively a significance of
90%, 5% and 1% */
it will give you the stars associated at each coefficient.

Sure. On of my regression command is: xi:xtreg aQ rds fyage lassets sp
de i.year, fe i(id) r cl(year) nonest The stata output is at the end of
this message. est2tex gives rds three stars, not two stars. The author
Marc-Andreas Muendler kindly explained that "The stars option is based
on the assumption of normally distributed standard errors. The code uses
t-distributed errors to assess significance, not the p-values." But I am
still puzzled. My regressions include fixed effects, and use robust
standard deviation with cluster options. But the estimated output still
shows t and P>|t|. Doesn't stata calculate p value based on t
distributions? Anyway, the bottom line is, I should add the stars
according to p-values reported in stata output, right? Thank you!

Val�rie Orozco a �crit :
Hi Yun,
You're right concerning the significance of the parameters.
Could you please show us the command and the results you have?
I find it strange because because est2tex works well with my estimations.

Hi, I have a question regarding significance levels.
In my understanding, p value in the regression output indicates the
two-sided significance level. If p<0.01, the estimated coefficient is
significant at 1%; if p<0.05, 5%; if p<0.1, 10%.
I use est2tex and specify levels(90 95 99). However, estimates with p
value 0.013 and 0.023 both receive three stars.
Am I missing something? Thank you!
Yun
