Re: st: AW: RE: -outreg2- super-rows and super-columns

[Kelvin Tan <kelvin.tan.statalist@gmail.com>]

Hi Nick, Martin, Abdel and Roy,

Thanks for your contribution. I really appreciate it. The latest
version of -outre2- (*! outreg2 2.2.4 12apr2010) has solved my
problem. However, can I raise two questions here?

First question: Super-row did not create a super-row with the first
time I used -outreg2- code (see below); however, -outreg2- did create
a super-row when I used it a second time. Do you know why? I was just
curious about it. However, I am happy to live with what we have now.

Second question:  In the following code, we can create a super-column
(thanks Roy) based on the value of coefficients. I was wondering if we
can modify the following code to create a hypotheses column with our
choice of signs (+ or - or ?)  not the value of coefficients?. For
example: I would like to have a "-" sign for gear_ratio and a "?" for
length.

Thanks.

Regards,
Kelvin TAN

-----Begin Code-----
sysuse auto, clear
reg headroom length gear_ratio
outreg2 using myfile, stats(coef) stnum(gen temp=coef) /*
 */ ststr(replace coef="(+)" if temp<., replace coef="(-)" if temp<0) /*
 */  groupvar(gear_ratio length Group3) replace noaster
outreg2 using myfile, groupvar(gear_ratio length Group3)
---- End Code ------
