RE: st: Useful labelling of dummy variables following logit

[Tim Evans <Tim.Evans@wmciu.nhs.uk>]

Nick,

Thanks for this, it nearly works for me - I can graph it, but I don't get all of the variable values from the 'axis' column to appear - I only have random ones. Do you know why it does not display all of the variables names (but does display the estimate value)

Maarten's example doesn't show variable labels. Here is one way to do
it. I may well be overlooking an option in -parmest-.

Nick

sysuse nlsw88, clear
logit union married never_married collgrad south

local i = 0
foreach v in married never_married collgrad south {
	local l`v' : variable label `v'
}

parmest, norestore eform
foreach v in married never_married collgrad south {
	replace parm = "`l`v''" if parm == "`v'"
}

replace parm = "(intercept)" if parm == "_cons"

egen axis= axis(estimate), label(parm)

twoway bar  estimate axis, base(1) horizontal barw(.5) ///
            xline(1) ylab(, valuelabel ang(h) noticks) ||             ///
       rcap min95 max95 axis, horizontal               ///
            legend(order(1 "point estimate"            ///
                         2 "95% conf. int.") pos(6))   ///
            xtitle("odds ratio") ytitle("")
