st: Re: Odds ratio graph - selecting order of bars

[Michael Stewart <michaelstewartresearch@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am reffering to  http://www.survey-design.com.au/Stata%20Graphs.html
 , Odds ratio graph - selecting order of bars

I cant understand the utility of "tab estimate, gen(kk)" command .I am
getting the same result with and without that command .

The commands are as follows

**********example begin*********

sysuse nlsw88, clear
logit union married never_married collgrad south

parmest, norestore eform

tab estimate, gen(kk)

//order of bars
input a
1
2
3
4
5

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

twoway bar  estimate axis, base(1) horizontal barw(.5) ///
xline(1) ylab(, valuelabel angle(0)) ||                ///
rcap min95 max95 axis, horizontal                      ///
legend(order(1 "point estimate"                        ///
2 "95% conf. int.") pos(6))                            ///
xtitle("odds ratio") ytitle("") scheme(color)

**********example end*********

Thanks a lot for your time and consideration

Mike
