Re: st: Dot plots with confidence intervals?

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

Even doing this from first principles is about two lines:

sysuse auto
statsby mean=r(mean) ub=r(ub) lb=r(lb), by(rep78) clear : ci mpg
sc mean rep78 || rcap ub lb rep78 , legend(off) ytitle(Means and 95% c.i.s)

Speaking Stata: The statsby strategy
Nicholas J. Cox

Abstract.   The statsby command collects statistics from a command
yielding r-class or e-class results across groups of observations and
yields a new reduced dataset. statsby is commonly used to graph such
data in comparisons of groups; the subsets and total options of
statsby are particularly useful in this regard. In this article, I
give examples of using this approach to produce box plots and plots of
confidence intervals.
