Please start a new thread with such a completely different question. You need Oaxaca-Blinder in the title.

[karthick veerapandian]

okay! Thank you Cox.

And Yes, I found the answer from stata journal.

tabcount is from SSC. Please remember to explain where user-written programs you refer to come from.

Also check out tabm program from the same author: it's in the tab_chi package on SSC

and

Ben Jann's mrtab (SJ).

Is there any way to get -tabm- to show percents instead of pure frequencies? It doesn't seem to work with the following options: "percent" "row(percent)" "statistic(percent)"

[Nick Cox]

#19 tabm is a wrapper for tabulate.


The options of tabulate should work. Where are you reading about those options? tabm is not a wrapper for the different command table either in version 17 or earlier.

Here is a self-contained script to give flavour assuming download of tab_chi from SSC.

clear
set obs 100
set seed 2803

forval j = 1/5 {
    gen y`j' = runiformint(1, 5)
}

tabm y?

tabm y?, row
tabm y?, col

Thank you! I'm very new to stata so I'm mostly going by intuition.. tabm y?, row did the job, but still display both absolute frequencies and percent. Is there any way to only display percent?

[Nick Cox]

Documentation beats intuition unless your intuition is really good. As said, tabm is a wrapper for tabulate and clicking through to its help identifies the option nofreq.

Haha true! thanks again
