Hello all,
I apologize if this email goes out to the list twice, but I suspect that the first version did not make it through because I forgot to post it in plain text.
Is there a way to use the -estout- (available from SSC) matrix mode to output super column names above the column names of my matrix?
I can get the results I want using the -showcoleq(c)- option of -matlist-, but would like to save my matrix. I particularly like the feature that an equation name only shows up once if two columns share it. An example of what I'd like to do using -matlist- follows:
mat A = (1,2,3,4)
mat coln A = male:1979 male:2007 female:1979 female:2007
mat rown A = mystat
matlist A, showcoleq(c)
| male | female
| 1979 2007 | 1979 2007
-------------+----------------------+----------------------
mystat | 1 2 | 3 4
I can't get -estout- to do what I want:
-estout matrix(A) using test2-
male:1979 male:2007 female:1979 female:2007
mystat 1 2 3 4
I've also had no luck with the -eqlabel- -mlabel- and -mtitle- options in -estout-, presumably because I haven't found a way to tell -estout- to treat columns 1 and 2 as one model and columns 3 and 4 as another.
If it is relevant, the actual matrix I'm using consists of results from -inequal7-, -pctile-, and -sum-. I'd also be grateful for any suggestions of other ways to create the table I'm after. I suppose one way would be to add a row at the top of my matrix with the years and then to name every other column with a gender, but this would not generalize to a case where my column names are strings.
Thanks very much for your consideration.
