st: Number of decimal points and rounding off when using esttab

[Amal Khanolkar <Amal.Khanolkar@ki.se>]

Hi all,

I use the following set of commands to get easy to read results from a set of regression models using the esttab package:

eststo clear
eststo: mlogit moth_wtgainbybmi i.ethnicity2 sex byear gestwk, base(1) rrr, if magecat2!=. & parity!=. & education2!=. & famsit_new2!=. & smoke2!=. & gestdt!=. & gestht!=. & MBMI5!=. & multibirth==1
eststo: mlogit moth_wtgainbybmi i.ethnicity2 sex byear gestwk ib2.magecat2 i.parity, base(1) rrr,  if education2!=. & famsit_new2!=. & smoke2!=. & gestdt!=. & gestht!=. & MBMI5!=. & multibirth==1
eststo: mlogit moth_wtgainbybmi i.ethnicity2 sex byear gestwk ib2.magecat2 i.parity ib2.education2 ib2.famsit_new2, base(1) rrr,  if smoke2!=. & gestdt!=. & gestht!=. & MBMI5!=. & multibirth==1
eststo: mlogit moth_wtgainbybmi i.ethnicity2 sex byear gestwk ib2.magecat2 i.parity ib2.education2 ib2.famsit_new2 ib2.smoke2, base(1) rrr,  if gestdt!=. & gestht!=. & MBMI5!=. & multibirth==1
eststo: mlogit moth_wtgainbybmi i.ethnicity2 sex byear gestwk ib2.magecat2 i.parity ib2.education2 ib2.famsit_new2 ib2.smoke2 i.gestdt i.gestht, base(1) rrr, if MBMI5!=. & multibirth==1
eststo: mlogit moth_wtgainbybmi i.ethnicity2 sex byear gestwk ib2.magecat2 i.parity ib2.education2 ib2.famsit_new2 ib2.smoke2 i.gestdt i.gestht ib2.MBMI5, base(1) rrr, if multibirth==1
esttab, eform ci


I know the options a1, a2, a3..... help specify the number of digits one would like after the decimal point. However, I wasn't able to figure out (and I might have missed this while reading the help file for esttab) how one can specify the number of digits after the decimal point (say if I wanted the estimate to have max two digits after the decimal point like 2.65, or 3.38) but these estimates are rounded off?


Thanks Amal.
