Custom CI with Estout

[Stuart Morrison]

I am using the wonderful estout/esttab to produce LaTeX regression tables. My estimation procedure produces custom confidence intervals which are stored in e(CIL) and e(CIL). I can include these in my regression table with commands of the form

esttab, cell(b se "CIL CIU")

However, I am unable to work out how to make them appear in a single cell like produced for normal confidence intervals (i.e. if i were to specify esttab, cell(ci)) and how to surround them with brackets and specify the number of digits, etc.

I have struggled with this for longer than I care to think about by now, and I would be very grateful for any suggestions. (Or concrete information that this isn't possible)

Try

esttab, cell(b se CIL(par) & CIU(par)) incelldelimiter(", ")

Many thanks. This is very helpful indeed and got me most of the way. In the end I used

"CIL(fmt(a2) par(zz )) & CIU(fmt(a2) par(nnnn yy))"

and used the substitute command to replace zz nnnn and yy with brackets and parentheses as appropriate. Thanks again.
