If a name is omitted from any `estimates` command, then the 'active' or 'latest' estimate results are used. Most commands allow multiple stored estimate results. If a name is omitted from `-estimates-`, then the active/latest estimate results are used.

Stata estimates

-estimates- manipulates estimation results.

Usage

After fitting a model, try: 

estimates store myest

The estimate results can be accessed like: 

estimates table myest

If a name is omitted from -estimates-, then the active/latest estimate results are used.

Stats

Try:

Note: BIC uses N = number of observations. See [R] BIC note.

Options exist to:

  • aiccorrected: report AICc instead of AIC

  • aicconsistent: report CAIC instead of AIC

  • all: report all criteria

Table

Try: 

. estimates table

Note that the output of estimates table depends strongly upon the estimate results being used.

Note furthermore these options:

  • stats(statslist) displays the specified statistics with the table

  • keep(varlist) shows only the specified coefficients

  • drop(varlist) suppresses display of the specified coefficients

  • b displays coefficients

    • b(%format) implies c and sets the print format

  • se displays standard errors

    • se(%format) implies se and sets the print format

  • t displays test statistics

    • t(%format) implies t and sets the print format

  • p displays p values

    • p(%format) implies p and sets the print format

  • varwidth(#) sets the display width of variable names

  • varlabel displays variable labels rather than variable names

  • modelwidth(#) sets the display width of model names

Finally, estimates table stores the following results:

  • r(coef): matrix of coefficients

  • r(stats): matrix of statistics, if the stats(statlist) option was used
