Eliciting truthful answers to sensitive questions is an age-old problem in survey research. Respondents tend to underreport socially undesired or illegal behaviors while overreporting socially desirable ones. To combat such response bias, various techniques have been developed that are geared...

Graphical display of regression results has become increasingly popular in presentations and the scientific literature because, in many cases, graphs are much easier to read than tables. In Stata, such plots can be produced by the marginsplot command. However, while marginsplot is very versatile...

This talk illustrates how results from various Stata commands can be processed efficiently for inclusion in customized reports. A two-step procedure is proposed in which results are gathered and archived in the first step and then tabulated in the second step. Such an approach disentangles the...

Tables of estimated regression coefficients, usually accompanied by additional information such as standard errors, t statistics, p-values, confidence intervals, or significance stars, have long been the preferred way of communicating results from statistical models. In recent years, however,...

Least-squares regression is a major workhorse in applied research. Yet its estimates may be deemed nonrobust under various conditions. One example is heavy-tailed error distributions, in which least-squares estimation may lose its cutting edge with respect to efficiency. More importantly,...

A new package called -adolist- is presented. -adolist- is a tool to create, install and uninstall lists of user ado packages ("adolists"). For example, -adolist- can create a list of all user packages installed on a system and then install the same packages on another system. Moreover, -adolist-...

estout, introduced by Jann (2005), is a useful tool for producing regression tables from stored estimates. However, its syntax is relatively complex and commands may turn out lengthy even for simple tables. Furthermore, having to store the estimates beforehand can be a bit cumbersome. To...

Postestimation processing and formatting of statistical results for input into document tables are tasks that most of us have to do. However, processing results by hand can be tedious, and is prone to error. There are therefore many benefits to automating these tasks while at the same time...
