Tables for sem in Stata

Introduction

A quick demo of making tables with sem in Stata.

Get Data

Data from Multilevel Thinking

use "simulated_multilevel_data.dta", clear

Run sem Model

Outcome is a function of physical punishment, parental warmth and the intervention. Physical punishment is potentially an outcome of the intervention.

I use quietly to suppress the outcome from the sem command

quietly: sem (outcome <- physical_punishment warmth intervention) ///
(physical_punishment <- intervention) // sem model

est store M1 // store estimates from this model

Make Table With etable

As long as the variables have variable labels, etable (with a few options) will automatically make a nice regression table.

etable, ///
estimates(M1) /// using these estimates 
showstars showstarsnote /// show significance stars & note
showeq // show equations
