Thanks to Kit Baum, there is now a new version of the -parmest- package
downloadable from SSC. In Stata, type -ssc desc parmest- to find out more.
The -parmest- package is used with estimation commands, and creates a data
set with one observation per estimated parameter, or one observation per
parameter per by-group, and data on parameter names, estimates, confidence
limits, P-values, and optionally many other parameter attributes specified
by the user. This data set can be used in creating plots and tables for
presentation or publication, and can be listed to the Stata log and/or
saved to a disk file and/or written to the memory, overwriting any
pre-existing data set. The new version is still Stata 7, but has an
improved version of the -label- option, which creates a string variable
-label- in the output data set containing the variable label of the
variable corresponding to the parameter. In the new version, a parameter
named _cons (a constant term or intercept) has a -label- value set to
"Constant" (for consistency with -estimates table- in Stata 8). If the
estimation command is the -lincomest- command (an estimation-class version
of -lincom- downloadable from SSC), then -label- is set to the linear
combination formula specified by the user to -lincomest-. The user can, of
course, reset the -label- variable in the output data set if s/he does not
like these default values.
Best wishes
