Re: st: --estimates table, drop()" and FACTOR variables (texdoc)

[Carsten Sauer <carsten.sauer@uni-bielefeld.de>]

I know a way with a user written command (ssc install estout)

sysuse auto, clear
reg  price i.rep78
esttab , drop(*.rep78)

- carsten

Hello all,




Carsten: thanks for your reply.

With 300 categories for 
the factor variable, spelling each category out is rather daunting.  My 
quick workaround is to --estimate table, keep()-- the coefficients I
 want as it results in shorter list.

And I thought factor variables were first-class citizens. Please do reply if there is a way to use factor variables in their new syntax with --estimates table--

        you have to specify which factor variable you want to drop.

        Look at this example:

        

        sysuse auto, clear

        reg price  mpg i.rep78

        est table, drop(2.rep78)

        est table, drop(2.rep78 3.rep78)

    

    best, carsten

      Hello all,

I run a few specifications then try to drop a factor variable (~300 dummies) but --estimates table-- throws an error.  Am I doing something wrong?  If there is an issue with factor variables, is there a known workaround?


estimates table a1 a2 a3 a4 a5, drop(i.hsacode)
coefficient i.hsacode does not occur in any of the models
r(198);

. estimates table a1 a2 a3 a4 a5, drop(hsacode)
coefficient hsacode does not occur in any of the models
r(198);

. estimates table a1 a2 a3 a4 a5, drop(_hsacode)
coefficient _hsacode does not occur in any of the models
r(198);





BTW, I am using these --estimates table-- within a --texdoc stlog-- block.
