How to avoid scientific notation when displaying values after running the strate command

[Paul Somwe]

Hello,

Is there a way to avoid displaying scientific notation values after running the strate command. See example command and output below:

 strate facility2

 
         Failure _d: etec_pcr
   Analysis time _t: (enddate-origin)/365.25
             Origin: time time0
  Exit on or before: time .
        ID variable: id

Estimated failure rates
Number of records = 6969

  +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
  |     facility2    D          Y        Rate       Lower       Upper |
  |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

  +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
   Notes: Rate = D/Y = failures/person-time.
          Lower and Upper are bounds of 95% confidence intervals.

Any help rendered will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Paul

You need the option -per()-to specify the units to be used in reported rates. Compare:

webuse diet, clear
stset dox, origin(time doe) id(id) scale(365.25) fail(fail==1 3 13)
stsplit ageband, at(40(10)70) after(time=dob) trim
strate ageband
strate ageband, per(1e+3)

Res.:

 strate ageband

         failure _d:  fail == 1 3 13
   analysis time _t:  (dox-origin)/365.25
             origin:  time doe
                 id:  id
               note:  ageband<=40 trimmed

Estimated failure rates
Number of records  =       729
