Retrieve values from a tabulate, with svy option.

[Jerome Bouchan]

Hi,

I would need your help to retrieve numerical values from a tabulate, with weights (svy function). I already success to get percentage (from my binary variable, coded 1 and 0), but I can't get the confidence intervals back. I would like to put them in a matrix since I have a large number of variables (60-80).

For percentage value I success with this command :

"
svy : tab DurHebdBaseballBin, ci perc
ereturn display
matrix a = r(table)
"

But for confidence intervals values are differents from my original table (because of mean calculation while I have percentage for IC).

So my question is is it possible to get the data from a table with weights?

Table where I would like to retrieve the data :

I would like to export percentage value, lb and ub values in a matrix.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Jérôme

You are not showing reproducible example, but generally there are two sources from where you can retrieve information after a command: -ereturn list- and -return list-.


Type both of these after your command, and if what you need is there, then you can retrieve it. If not, it gets difficult.

Thanks for your advices. Finally, I was helped, and probably retrieve CI with a tabulate and svy function is not possible. BUT it's possible with proportion. Here is my code :

svy : proportion `var'
return list
matrix a = r(table)
matrix perc = a[1,2]
matrix IC1 = a[5,2]
matrix IC2 = a[6,2]
matrix tot = perc, IC1 , IC2

For asdocx users!
asdocx can now export confidence intervals from the svy:tab command. Here is a quick example. Complete blog entry can be found on the asdocx page for svy:tab.
