I stumbled over this issue:
***
sysuse auto
***
While
***
estpost tabstat price mpg, col(stat)
***
returns as expected:
Summary statistics: mean
for variables: price mpg
| e(mean)
-------------+-----------
price | 6165.257
mpg | 21.2973
***
estpost tabstat price mpg, col(stats)
***
returns:
Summary statistics: mean
for variables: price mpg
| e(price) e(mpg)
-------------+----------------------
mean | 6165.257 21.2973
Given that both
***
tabstat price mpg, col(stat)
tabstat price mpg, col(stats)
***
do the desired:
variable | mean
-------------+----------
price | 6165.257
mpg | 21.2973
------------------------
I am surprised finding the above.
best, rich
