Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of -estout- is
available from the SSC Archive.
To install the update, type
. adoupdate estout, update
or
. ssc install estout, replace
The most prominent changes are related to -estout-'s
-fmt()- suboption (in -cells()- and -stats()-). Two
alternatives to official Stata's hard-to-type display
formats are available now:
o A fixed display format may now be specified as a
single integer. The integer is interpreted as the
number of decimal places to be displayed. For
example,
. estout, cells(b(fmt(3)))
will display coefficients with three decimal
places.
o Formats may now be specified as -a#-, where # is an
integer in [1,9]. This causes -estout- to choose a
reasonable format for each number depending on its
magnitude. # sets the minimum number of "significant
digits" to be displayed. (Idea stolen from
-outreg2-.)
Other changes:
o -estout- has a new -numbers- option. If specified,
a row containing consecutive model numbers is added
to the header of the regression table.
o If no estimates names are provided to -estout-,
-estout- now picks up the estimates names left
behind by -esto- (see -ssc describe esto-).
o -estout-'s defaults files have been renamed from
*.def to *.style (.style files are recognized as
install files by Stata, this simplifies maintenance
of the -estout- package file on SSC). Note that
support for .def files will be continued. Therefore,
you need not rename your own defaults files, if
you have any.
o It is now possible to specify multiple text lines
in the -begin()- and -end()- label suboptions.
o The default -varwidth()- now depends on whether
-label- is specified or not (styles "fixed", "tex"
and "html" only).
