Thanks to Kit Baum, an update to the -estout- package on SSC is
available. To install the update, type
. ssc install estout, replace
or use the -adoupdate- command. The estout website at
http://repec.org/bocode/e/estout has also been updated.
Changes:
o The package contains a new command called -estpost-. -estpost- is a
tool to prepare results from commands such as, e.g., -summarize-,
-tabulate-, or -correlate- for tabulation by -esttab- or -estout-. For
example, to produce a table of summary statistics, you could type
. estpost summarize <varlist>
. estout, cells("mean sd min max")
See the examples at http://repec.org/bocode/e/estout/estpost.html
o -estout- can now tabulate a matrix. For example, type
. esttab matrix(<name>)
where <name> is the name of a Stata matrix. -esttab r(<name>)- or
-esttab e(<name>)-, where <name> is the name of a matrix stored in r()
or e(), is also possible. See the Syntax section in -help estout- for
details (http://repec.org/bocode/e/estout/hlp_estout.html#syn).
o -estout- can now tabulate estimation sets that do not contain e(b)
or e(V). For example, results from -factor- can now be tabulated (see
the example at http://repec.org/bocode/e/estout/advanced.html#advanced404).
The name space of tabulated coefficients is no longer restricted by
e(b).
o Mutiple values may now be specified in -estout-'s -modelwidth()-
option to set the widths of the table columns individually.
o -estout- has a new -rename()- option to rename coefficients before
matching models. This is useful to merge different coefficients across
models (i.e. to print them in the same row; see the example at
http://repec.org/bocode/e/estout/advanced.html#advanced008).
o The rows of matrices in e() can now be addressed within -estout-'s
-cells()- option as <name>[#], <name>[<rowname>], or
<name>["<rowname>"] where <name> is the name of the e() matrix, # is
the row number, and <rowname> is the name of the matrix row. (The old
syntax, <name>_#, is discontinued.) For example, you could type
-cells(ci_bc[1] ci_bc[2])- or -cells(ci_bc[ll] ci_bc[ul])- to tabulate
the lower and upper bounds of the bias-corrected confidence intervals
after -bootstrap-. Furthermore, there is a new -transpose- suboption
to address columns rather than rows.
o The syntax of and how -estadd prchange- returns its results
changed. See the section on -prchange- in -help estadd-
(http://repec.org/bocode/e/estout/hlp_estadd.html#prchange). Also see
http://repec.org/bocode/e/estout/spost.html#spost202 for examples on
how to use -estadd prchange-.
o -estout- now saves a copy of the tabulated results in r(). For
example, the tabulated coefficients are returned in matrix r(coefs).
See the Saved results section in -help estout-
(http://repec.org/bocode/e/estout/hlp_estout.html#ret).
