outreg with beta coefficient

[Maya Lani]

Dear all,

I would like to use outreg to report the standardized coefficient with the significance level.

My code is:

outreg using myreg.doc, replace stats(beta) nodepvar bdec(3)

However,with this command, the significance is not shown in the table.

Apologies if this is an elementary question but how can I get outreg to show the significance level of the coefficients.

Hello Maya,

I don't use use the SSC outreg, but the help files indicate you should add - pvalue - in the options of "stats".

Hopefully that helps!

[Maya Lani]

Dear Marcos Almeida

I have tried that and I get an error : "pvalue" not allowed in stats option

Best,
Maya

Hey,

I use outreg2 and it reports significance levels automatically (with asteriks). You dont even need the stats-option.

Hello Malte Ehrich.
Thank you for taking time to answer my question. I am also familiar with outreg2. However, the significance level is not automatically reported with the standardized coefficients (given by the option ,beta)

[Marcos Almeida]

Hello Maya,

You may try to use - pvalue - outside stats.

[Phil Bromiley]

Try this:

outreg2 using myreg.doc, replace stats(beta pval ) bdec(3)

It works for my example.

Considering Maya wishes to employ the user-written - outreg (instead of - outreg2 -), as stated in #1, and just to clarify my message in #6, I suggested to try something like this:

. outreg using myreg.doc, pvalue

[Maya Lani]

Dear Phil Bromiley, unfortunately this does not work..I get an error" "pval" not allowed in stats option"

and dear Marcos Almeida I would like the standardized (beta) coefficient to be reported.

My qustion is basically is there a way to make outreg2 or outreg report the significance of beta coefficients attached as asterisks?

[Chris Larkin]

outreg2 automatically includes p-values as asterisks on the beta coefficients. I just tested this, and then opened it in word; it works fine:

sysuse auto, clear
regress price mpg foreign, r
outreg2 using "modeltable.rtf", replace

If you're still having problems, try uninstalling and reinstalling the programme:

ado uninstall outreg2
ssc install outreg2

[Maya Lani]

Yes that works for the unstandardized coefficients.
By "beta coefficients" I mean the standardized coefficients obtained by using the command beta, such that you would have:

regress price mpg foreign, beta r

Dear Maya, did you get to report the standardized coefficients marked with asterisk using outreg2?
Thanks in advance!
