RE: st: Is it possible to retrieve logit transformed confidence intervals as displayed by svy tabulate using estpost?

["McDermaid, Cameron" <Cameron.McDermaid@ottawa.ca>]

Thanks for your help, Roger.

This is exactly what I was looking for.

I don't know about -estpost-. However, retrieving the confidence intervals output by -svy: tabulate- looks like a job for the -parmest- package, which you can download from SSC. If you install -parmest- and then type

help parmcip

then the online help for the -parmcip- option of the -parmest- package contains an example (the final example) of the use of -parmest- and
-parmcip- to retrieve the confidence limits that you are looking for.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Roger

Transforming the confidence intervals manually seems impractical due to differences when compared to the values Stata calculates, perhaps due to the accumulation of rounding and the challenge of inputting the t critical value based on df.
