st: One-sample ttests with estpost

["Florian Szuecs" <florian.szuecs@univie.ac.at>]

Dear Statalisters,

I'm trying to automatically generate a large table containing means, s.d.,
observations and one-sample ttests (of the form ttest x=0) for multiple
variables across different subsamples. My approach was to use estpost
ttest for each subsample and then join the results using esttab. This
would allow me to display the ttest-results as significance stars next to
the means.

Estpost, however, only supports two-mean ttests and simply setting all obs
out of the current subsample to zero for the ttest meddles with the
degrees of freedom. In a similar matter, statalisters suggested using
either a matrix or the parmest command to obtain the desired results, but
I failed to adapt this to my problem.

Any ideas on how to get estpost to do what I want it to do?

Thanks in advance,

Florian
