esttab/estout: Use mlabels, span to group second type of information

[Felix Kaysers]

I would now like to create a regression tables that provides two rows of information spanning different columns. I have read the estout help files and searched in the Stata forum, so I know I can not use mgroups ( , pattern) two times. Based on entries in the Stata forum and the estout help files, I suspect that I need to use mlabels with the option span. However, I am unfamiliar with Latex and have not been able to compile the pdf successfully to check if the pandoc conversion is the culprit.

eststo:reg rep78 weight length
eststo:reg rep78 weight
eststo:reg rep78 length
eststo:reg rep78 weight length
eststo:reg rep78 weight
eststo:reg rep78 length

global fmtoptions label b(%9.2f) se(%9.2f) stats(r2 N, fmt(%9.2fc %9.0fc) labels("R-squared" "N")) star(+ 0.1 * .05 ** 0.01) onecell nogaps

esttab using example.tex, replace mgroups("Female evaluators" "Male evaluators" "All evaluators", pattern(1 0 1 0 1 0)) mlabels("OLS" "OLS" "OLS" "Logit" "Logit" "Logit" "Logit", span prefix(\multicolumn{@span}{c}{) suffix(})) $fmtoptions

shell pandoc example.tex -o example.docx

My current result is this:

	Female evaluators		Male evaluators		All evaluators
	(1)	(2)	(3)	(4)	(5)	(6)
	OLS	OLS	OLS	Logit	Logit	Logit
Weight (lbs.)	-0.00 (0.00)	-0.00^** (0.00)		-0.00 (0.00)	-0.00^** (0.00)
Length (in.)	0.01 (0.02)		-0.02^** (0.00)	0.01 (0.02)		-0.02^** (0.00)
Constant	4.07^* (1.68)	4.92^** (0.44)	6.36^** (0.94)	4.07^* (1.68)	4.92^** (0.44)	6.36^** (0.94)
R-squared	0.16	0.16	0.13	0.16	0.16	0.13
N	69	69	69	69	69	69
Standard errors in parentheses
^+ , ^* , ^** My expected result: I would like something closer to this, where OLS and Logit are only repeated once across columns 1-3 and 4-6 respectively. OLS Logit Female evaluators Male evaluators All evaluators (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Weight (lbs.) -0.00 (0.00) -0.00^** (0.00) -0.00 (0.00) -0.00^** (0.00) Length (in.) 0.01 (0.02) -0.02^** (0.00) 0.01 (0.02) -0.02^** (0.00) Constant 4.07^* (1.68) 4.92^** (0.44) 6.36^** (0.94) 4.07^* (1.68) 4.92^** (0.44) 6.36^** (0.94) R-squared 0.16 0.16 0.13 0.16 0.16 0.13 N 69 69 69 69 69 69 Standard errors in parentheses ^+ , ^* , ^**

I know I need to merge the columns manually in Word after my conversion.
