st: Esttab output: a matrix to a tex table

[Johannes Geyer <JGeyer@diw.de>]

Dear Statalisters,

I have a problem using esttab to produce a latex table. The problem is, I 
want 
to output a matrix but esttab produces a table with only two columns in 
the 
header, regardless of how many columns there are:

**************************
sysuse auto
tabstat price mpg length, s(mean p25 median p75 p90 p95 p99) save
tabstatmat test
esttab matrix(test) using c:\temp\test.tex, replace
**************************

The Latex-output I get is the following table:

**************************
\begin{tabular}{l*{1}{c}} \hline\hline
            &          EP&            &            \\
            &       price&         mpg&      length\\
\hline
mean        &    6165.257&     21.2973&    187.9324\\
p25         &        4195&          18&         170\\
p50         &      5006.5&          20&       192.5\\
p75         &        6342&          25&         204\\
p90         &       11385&          29&         218\\
p95         &       13466&          34&         221\\
p99         &       15906&          41&         233\\
\hline\hline
\end{tabular}
**************************

Ok, versions: when I call -which- I get:

. which esttab
c:\ado\plus\e\esttab.ado
*! version 2.0.5  09mar2009  Ben Jann
*! wrapper for estout

. which estout
c:\ado\plus\e\estout.ado
*! version 3.13  06aug2009  Ben Jann

This seems to be ok?

I appreciate any help. I did not fully understand how this can be done 
using -estpost- so any hint in that direction would also be very welcome.

Thanks,

Johannes
