asdocx Update History
This page presents the log of asdocx updates. The most recent updates are shown at the top of the page.
rept option is used.* June 22, 2022: In version 2.1.1 of asdocx, the following additions were made:
1. sideways option in nested regressions
2. Option alignstats (in nested regression tables) to vertically align statistics; default is to align statistics with significance stars
3. dec() and dect() in table1: Option dec() sets the decimal points for point estimates whereas dect() sets the decmial points for p-value or t-values. These options are already available in the nested regression tables.
4. Option report() in table1: Option report can be used to report only a specific category of a categorical variable. For example, imagine that the variable gender is coded 1 for male and 0 for female. If we wish to report just male, we shall use report(1),
5. nested tables of reg1 : The reg1 template does not offer a nesting option. However, with the introduction of the sideways option, we can use the regular nest option along with sideways and rep(ci) options to create a reg1 table and nest regression models in a single table. See this post.
* June 7, 2022: In version 2.1.0 of asdocx, the following additions were made:
1. template(ttest1)
2. tabdisplay and the list commands offer a flexible way of creating tables from datasets. The tabdisplay was added in this version. See examples here for both the list and tabdisplay commands.
3. The sub-command estat effects is now available in asdocx. After sem command, now you can also export the table of total, direct, and indirect effects to MS Word, Excel, LaTeX, or HTML. asdocx compiles various statistics from the stored matrices and creates a complete table of coefficient, standard errors, s-statistics, and p-values. See examples here.

/* Sets top border for row 1 and row 2 of the table; arguments are separated by space. This line is reset at each run to 1 2 Top and bottom border are available in docx with Stata version 14.2 and above. The following two lines will be set if do_border is set to 1 */ global hlines "1 2" // underline styles /* possible values are: single, dashDotStroked, dashed, dashSmallGap, dotDash, dotDotDash, dotted, double, doubleWave, inset, nil, none, outset, thick, thickThinLargeGap, thickThinMediumGap, thickThinSmallGap, thinThickLargeGap,thinThickMediumGap, thinThickSmallGap, thinThickThinLargeGap,thinThickThinMediumGap, thinThickThinSmallGap, threeDEmboss, threeDEngrave, triple, and wave. */ // The top row of the table has single underline // whereas the second row has double underlines. global hlines_style "single double" // The last line of the table - underline style global hrend_style "single" // The last line of the table - underline width : // 4 means normal : 8 is double in width: //can be set up to 75 global hrend_width 8

Aug 04, 2021: Version 1.7.9 : addition of graphs
Support for the following graphs is added.
(1) heatplot (from SSC),
(2) reldis graph (from SSC)
(3) marginsplot
(4) hexplot (from SSC)
Aug 03, 2021: Version 1.7.8 :
(1) title() accepts parentheses, brackets, and square brackets. For example
asdocx sum, title(Table - Summary (testing title update)) asdocx sum, title(Table - Summary [testing title update]) asdocx sum, title(Table - Summary {testing title update})
(2) tzok works with tabulate
Example:
asdocx tabulate rep78 foreign, tzok replace
Aug 03, 2021: Version 1.7.6 : Various updates :
(1) reghdfe, that is available on the SSC, has been added to nested regression
(2) Update to tabulate, sort
The sort of tabulate command now works on both string and numbers. See examples here
July 29, 2021: Version 1.7.5 : asdocx clear
asdoc keeps a copy of the stored matrices, results, text, and graphs in the hidden folder _asdoc. These files are used when users try to append new results to existing files. Therefore, these files are required by asdocx, until the user decides that s/he will never need to append to the same file. However, if the user decides to delete these files, asdocx then offer a decent way to do it, See more details here
July 28, 2021: Version 1.7.4 : table_layout(auto)
table_layout() has now three options, with the addition of table_layout(auto), which autofits contents to the window. See more details here
asdocx sum , detail replace table_layout(auto) fs(10)
July 27, 2021: Version 1.7.3 : addition of xtsum command
asdocx can now export output from xtsum command. See the following example.
webuse abdata.dta, clear asdocx xtsum emp k wage cap , replace
July 27, 2021: Version 1.7.0 to 1.7.2 :Fixing various bugs
There were small fixes to various bugs in version 1.7.0, 1.7.1 and 1.7.2. Specifically, nested regression would throw an error when used with poisson command. That has been fixed now. The list would show an error if a string variable has double quotes. That has been fixed in version 1.7.1. This version also fixed an issue with the rowappend option. More details on this can be found here. And finally, version 1.7.2 fixes an issue with the unpaired two-sample t-test.
July 2, 2021: Version 1.6.9 : bys and by() now works with nested regress
nested regressions can be now be estimated and reported using a grouping variable either in the bysort prefix or by(varname).
* Use grunfeld dataset
webuse grunfeld
* Just keep 5 companies in the dataset and then estimate regression for each company
keep if company < 6
* Note the bys company
bys company : asdocx reg invest mvalue kstock, nest replace
July 2, 2021: Version 1.6.8 : bysort and by() work with tabulate command
One-way tabulation can now be done using a grouping variable. bysort and by() are alternative here. So the following two commands are similar.
sysuse auto, clear bys foreign : asdocx tab rep78, replace * OR asdocx tab rep78, replace by(foreign)
June 26, 2021: Version 1.6.7 : Use the control word \cr :
in table title. \cr adds a carriage return to the title. The title then appears on multiple lines. For example;
asdocx sum, title(First Title \cr Second Title \cr Third Title) replace
The table title will appear on three lines.
June 19, 2021: Version 1.6.6 : Notes added to nested regression:
Nested regression now automatically reports notes in the table footer. The default notes show either standard errors, robust standard errors, t-values or p-values, as the case maybe. User’s notes can also be appended to these notes. Example is given below:
sysuse auto, clear asdocx reg price mpg trunk, notes(This example uses auto.dta set) replace
June 18, 2021: Version 1.6.5 : tableonly option for LaTeX
If exporting to a LaTeX format, users can now use option tableonly. This option can be used to append various tables in a single document. See the request of the forum member and his example on how to use this option here
June 15, 2021: Version 1.6.4 : Graph Height and Width:
When exporting graph to a Word documents, users can now use options width() and height() to control the width and height of the graph. For a high resolution graph, the width and height values can be set as high as desired.
sysuse auto, clear asdocx scatter rep78 price, width(2000) height(3000)
June 15, 2021: Version 1.6.3 : Weights added to graphs
The syntax for graph command now accepts weights. Therefore graphs can be added to asdocx documents with all relevant options of a given graph. Examaple
