asdoc command

[lourdes gastearena]

Hello everybody,
I am using this formula "asdoc estimates table est1 est2 est3 est4 est5 est6 est7, stats(chi2 N) star(.05 .01 .001) b(%9,3g) stfmt(%9.3g)" but to my surprise in the output I cannot see the number of observations N. Does anyone know why is this?
Thank you,
Lourdes.

As per the FAQs, you need to tell that asdoc is from SSC.
For those who are not yet familiar with asdoc, asdoc can be downloaded from SSC and can be used with almost all Stata commands. Here is a short blog post that shows how asdoc can be used with any Stata command. You can also watch several YouTube videos that show the use of asdoc

Concerning the issue at hand, this is a parsing issue on part of asdoc. Since asdoc has its own option stat(), therefore, it overrides the Stata option stat(). The trick is to change the stat() to statist(), see the following example

asdoc estimates table est1 est2 est3 est4 est5 est6 est7, statist(chi2 N) star(.05 .01 .001) b(%9,3g) stfmt(%9.3g)

On a side note, it seems you are building a nested regression table using the estimates store command and then use asdoc to export the output to MS Word. You might have your own reasons, however, asdoc offers a better solution for creating nested regression tables. See the following example, which I have copied from the asdoc help file

*Example 25 : Make a nested table of four regressions

   *Load auto data set and estimate the first regression
        sysuse auto, clear
        asdoc reg price mpg rep78, nest replace

    *Add variable headroom and then nest with existing table
        
        asdoc reg price mpg rep78 headroom, nest append

    *Add variable weight and then nest with existing table
        
        asdoc reg price mpg rep78 headroom weight, nest append

    *Adding text legend with option add(Foreign, yes) and drop the coefficient of foreign from table
       
        asdoc reg price mpg rep78 weight foreign, nest append text(Foreign dummy, yes) drop(foreign)
