Plot Standardized Differences between Groups

[Chirag Yadav]

I want to standardize a set of outcomes and plot differences based on a category variable. I was using the stddiff package and getting exactly what I want in the stored results as r class. But how do I plot the standardized differences? I have something like this:

sysuse auto
stddiff price mpg trunk, by( foreign )
return list

How do I plot r(stddiff)? I want to make it look something like a marginplot.

You can likely use coefplot from ssc

[Chirag Yadav]

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried coefplot and it isn't working. I think that maybe because the values are stored as a matrix.

[Jared Greathouse]

Yeah coefplot works happily with matrices

Chirag Yadav "it isn't working" is not going to get you very useful responses. Please read the Statalist FAQ for advice on how to post effective questions. Pay particular attention to part 12 of the FAQ, which advise you to post a data extract using the dataex command, and also post your code using the CODE delimiters (the # buttons on the toolbar) so that it is well-formatted.

Also, when you reference commands that are not built into Stata, please mention their source. In this case, stddiff is from Stata Journal and can be installed using

net install stddiff.pkg
