OUTTABLE

Description

outtable automates the conversion of a Stata matrix to a LaTeX table, written to an external file. The table is presented with row and column names taken from the specified matrix, so one need only generate the appropriate matrix using standard Stata commands. By default, only the lower triangle of a symmetric matrix will be written, as inferred by Stata’s issym() function.

Examples

* Export regression results to LaTeX
use auto, clear
forval r=2/5 {
    qui reg price headroom-turn if rep78==`r'
    mat c`r'=e(b)'
}
mat c=c2,c3,c4,c5
mat colnames c=rep78_2 rep78_3 rep78_4 rep78_5
outtable using cars, mat(c) replace

* With formatting and caption
outtable using cars, mat(c) replace center f(%9.2f) ///
    cap("Regression coefficients by rep78")
