Re: st: combining results from -tabulate- and -bitest- in the same table

[Michael McCulloch <mm@pinestreetfoundation.org>]

Sorry Nick, the syntax was supposed to be
	. bysort box:	bitest uti=.2
and I want to combine this per row in a table with a tabulation of another variable, called correct.
Both results will be in a table stratified per row, with a third figure, the calculated confidence interval.

What I'm seeking to do is, stratified by level of the variable -station-, display the value for variable -correct- and its 95%CI.

Thank you also for pointing out your article!


Best wishes,
Michael McCulloch
