st: New command -stat2data- available for download

Hi All,
Thanks to Kit Baum, a new stata command, -stat2data-, is now available
for download from SSC. -stat2data-, a wrapper for the Stata's official
tabstat command, generates a dataset of descriptive statistics
calculated for a list of variables. stat2data's output is different
from that of collapsing a dataset using the collapse command. In the
dataset generated by -stat2data-, the statistics are in columns and
the variables for which the statistics were calculated are in rows.
To install, type:
. ssc install stat2data
Example:
. sysuse auto, clear
. stat2data price mpg trunk weight length turn,
saving(statdata) by(rep78) stat(mean sd k sk q) missing
. preserve
. use statdata, clear
. list
. restore
Happy Holidays,
Wilner
