In Create and Export Tables Using Stata, Michael Mitchell teaches you how to expertly craft custom, publication-quality tables of summary statistics, regression results, and more. Mitchell examined hundreds of published journal articles from many disciplines, searching for commonly used table layouts. This book breaks down how to create the most popularly used tables by guiding you through examples using Stata’s table, dtable, and etable commands, as well as the collect suite of commands.

This book begins with 24 sample tables, including 6 examples of a Table 1, 8 examples of regression models, 4 examples with Student's t tests, and an example of reporting results from a pretest–posttest design. Each sample table is illustrated step by step, showing you how to create it, customize it, and export it as a Word document. You'll also learn how you can export your table as a PDF or an Excel spreadsheet.

After the quick examples, the book takes a more thorough look at the process of creating a Table 1—a table of descriptive statistics that optionally includes a comparison across groups. This discussion also includes extensive instruction on how to create different types of composite results to include in your table; composite results combine multiple statistics into one cell, such as the mean (SE) or median (IQR).

Next Mitchell focuses on creating tables from regression models, such as multiple regression, multivariate regression, logistic, and multinomial logistic models, and illustrates how to make tables that combine results from several models.

The book ends with a look under the hood, describing what a collection looks like and the steps used by the collect suite of commands for creating a table and filling it in based on the contents of the collection. This information can help you more deeply understand the process of creating tables and help you make more complex tables using Stata.

Create and Export Tables Using Stata is integral to anyone reporting data characteristics or analysis. You will learn how to create tables with the layout, formatting, and style you need. Optimize your workflow by using your styles to automate the creation of any future tables. You will take this book off your shelf over and over again as it quickly becomes your go-to reference for creating tables in Stata.
