Francesco and Kevin... thanks for sharing this conversation! Helped me a lot. :)

You should be able to type something like

tab2xl var1 var2 using filename, row(1) col(1)

Run the commands


net install http://www.stata.com/users/..., replace
net install http://www.stata.com/users/..., replace

to get the updated code with the summarize() option added.

Hi Kristin, Thanks for this blog, I found it very helpful. Could you provide an explanation of why you decided to restrict the mean to 0 and the variance to 1? What factors should one consider when selecting these restrictions? Thanks!

Is it possible to display/export relative frequencies (%) with this? The column/row options from regular tab don't work, so I was just wondering. Thanks & great work!

Hi, thanks! Do you know how can I add tables in the same sheet? Thanks!

Hi, thanks! I am trying to use ,col command for % but it not working. Can I use this command for this? Thanks!

We will try and work on this in the near future.

Thanks you and sorry for late reply. it did well after update all, but it is sad to not adjust format option

Typo: in the "forvalues" segment, line 27, "^" must be removed to reproduce the results. I detected the issue using set trace on. Can you correct the post? Thanks.

People who like tab2xl and tab2docx might also like these other commands ... https://www.statalist.org/f...

Seconding this request. Thanks!

Can I proceed to estimate DSGE model using Stata 12? IS there any user written syntex for DSGE model. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

After following the steps above (local consumer_key "..."; local consumer_secret "..."; local access_token "..."; local access_token_secret "..."; twitter2stata setaccess ...;) I get the error

I am using Stata 15 in OSX (Mac). I wonder if the operating system is the problem.

Thanks!

For another fantastic explanation on Linear Algebra, check out Linear Algebra series on YouTube by 3Blue1Brown channel. The series is mind blowing especially due to the use of very intuitive animations and a crystal clear narration.

How do you produce the fit statistics for each model (model vs. comparison model) (e.g., RMSEA, SRMR, CFI)?

A great introduction on the use of npregress and marginsplot. I have some results that appear to fit my preconcieved ideas, using 40 replications; you mention that 10 are insufficient. Any way to estimate the minimum requirement, other than repeated trial?

Chris added this feature to tab2xl. Run the command

net install http://www.stata.com/users/..., replace

to got the updated code.

Thanks, Kevin!

Thank you David, this is a very helpful post.

One question: in either the setup of the DSGE model or in postestimation, is there a way to generate an estimate of an unobserved **control** variable (in this example, the output gap term [x] )? Obviously, in this instance, seeing the model-consistent estimate of the output gap would be of great interest to a macroeconometrician!

If not, how might one modify the Woodward (2003) model to make the output gap estimatable?
