Coefplot with bycoefs option: how to relabel models

[Tobias Vorlaufer]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to plot coefficients of several models by using the coefplot command and the bycoefs option.

I would like to rename the model labels (in the example below from m1 m2 m3 to e.g. overall, domestic, foreign). See below for a reproducible example with code and output.

I tried several commands that are mentioned in the help file and on the website (http://repec.sowi.unibe.ch/stata/coefplot/index.html), but failed so far. Obviously, I could rename how the estimates are stored, but I would like to use labels with spaces.

If anyone knows how to do this, it would be of great help.

Thanks

sysuse auto, clear

reg price mpg headroom weight turn
estimate store m1

reg price mpg headroom weight turn if foreign==0
estimate store m2

reg price mpg headroom weight turn if foreign==1
estimate store m3

coefplot m1 || m2 || m3, keep(turn weight) yline(0) bycoefs  byopts(yrescale) vertical

coefplot is from Stata Journal. Thanks for the reproducible example. The first coefficient is identified by 1 in the x-axis, so you want to add the option

xlab(1 "overall" 2 "domestic" 3 "foreign")
