psmatch2: how to hide results for some variables?

[Tracy Yang]

I would like to run the code below.

xi: psmatch2 y x1 x2 x3 i.x4

Because x4 has thousands of categories, is it possible to display the probit results for x1, x2, and x3 only?

[David Radwin]

I don't think so, but you could do something like this:

. sysuse nlsw88, clear
(NLSW, 1988 extract)

. quietly xi: probit union wage hours tenure i.grade

. display _b[wage] "   " _se[wage]
.03423857   .00859051

. display _b[hours] "   " _se[hours]
.00235801   .00343361

. display _b[tenure] "   " _se[tenure]
.02386495   .00584163

Also, note that help xi says "We recommend that you use factor variables instead of xi if a command allows factor variables." See
