Subject | st: estout2 and latex tables |
Date | Mon, 28 May 2012 18:39:52 +1200 |
Hello, I am using Stata IC 10.0 for macintosh, and have been looking for a way to export a series of regression model results directly to a single latex table. I've traditionally imported from ASCII to excel, formatted the tables there, and used excel2latex to convert the tables to latex. However, this is a time consuming process (particularly with repect to dealing with bracketted standard error terms) and it would save a lot of hassle if I could generate latex tables directly. I've tried using both the estout and outreg2 routines, but neither seem to work. Specifically, the "tex" option does not seem to ever do anything, and I end up with a txt file with tab delimiters (instead of '&' delimiters) and no line breaks. (Since I am estimating multiple models, in the case of outreg2 I have added the "tex" option after the last regression, which I take to be the meaning for the following help file instructions: "outreg2 cannot append TeX format tables to one another, so regressions must be appended in ASCII form until the last regression, which is appended with the tex option.") My code is essentially as follows: regress y x if z==1 outreg2 x using myfile, stats(coef se) replace regress y x if z==2 outreg2 x using myfile, stats(coef se) append regress y x if z==3 outreg2 x using myfile, stats(coef se) tex append (I have also tried this using the tex option within each outreg2 command.) But the resulting "myfile" just contains tab delimited output. Trying estout I run into the same problem. Is anyone able to confirm that these routines are able to generate tables that can be imported directly into latex with Stata 10? And if so, is there anything wrong in what I am doing? Any suggestions or recommended reading is greatly appreciated.
