    There are three issues in your code. The first two issues are related to adding a space between option and parenthesis. See the following two corrections.
    Instead of save (Chapter_1_Tables) use save(Chapter_1_Tables)
    Instead of add (Industry Effects, Yes, Year Effects, Yes) use add(Industry Effects, Yes, Year Effects, Yes)

    And the third issue is the use of add() option without using the nest option. add() option works only when you are nesting regression tables. Therefore, this option will be ignored as asdoc will be outputting the detailed regression table when option nest is not used.

    Hello Susan
    Thanks for using asdoc. I made such a template in asdocx. You can see the layout / output created by this template here https://fintechprofessor.com/asdocx/forums/topic/nested-regression-with-confidence-intervals-with-asdocx/. If you have a suggestion or modification, I can add it to the template. asdocx has many other features that asdoc does not have, you may like to see the differences here https://fintechprofessor.com/asdocx/difference-between-asdocx-and-asdoc/.

    Here is a picture of a sample table created by asdocx

    Dear Ariful Islam
    asdoc follows the Stata official allowed statistic with the sum command. These statistics include :

            p1              1st percentile
            p5              5th percentile
            p10             10th percentile
            p25             25th percentile
            median          median (same as p50)
            p50             50th percentile (same as median)
            p75             75th percentile
            p90             90th percentile
            p95             95th percentile
            p99             99th percentile
            iqr             interquartile range = p75 - p25
            q               equivalent to specifying p25 p50 p75
    

    That means statistics at 80th percentiles are not available. If you need it, you an use asdocx https://fintechprofessor.com/asdocx/, which I shall modify to accept 80th percentile.

    Thanks for reporting this. I have fixed the issue. The current version of asdoc is
    Code:
    *! Version 2.3.9.3 : Changes made on Jan 1, 2021
    The new version of asdoc can be installed from my site. Copy and paste the following line in Stata and press enter.

    net install asdoc, from(http://fintechprofessor.com) replace
    Please note that the above line has to be copied in full. After installation of the new version, then restart Stata.

    Hello Nathan
    To convert daily returns to weekly, you can either use asrol or ascol. Both of them employ similar methods, though ascol is specifically designed for this task. The help file of ascol provides several examples in this regard. You might also find this blog entry helpful. In the following paragraph, I show one additional example using data from my site.

    * Install ascol from SSC
    ssc install ascol
    * Generate log returns bys symbol : gen daily_return = ln(close / close[_n-1]) * Create weekly date gen week_date = wofd(date) format week_date %tw * Convert the daily returns to weekly ascol daily_return , returns(log) keep(all) toweek gen(weekly_return) timevar(date) panelvar(symbol)

    Explanation

    returns(log) : Tells ascol that the returns were initially generated using log method. This is important because ascol then applies the simple summation method to convert the returns from daily to weekly frequency.

    keep(all): When we convert data from daily to a lower-frequency such as weekly, monthly, etc., we end up with repeated values of the converted variable. We often just need one value of the variable per cross-sectional unit and time-period. Therefore, the repeated observations are not needed and should be dropped. This is what the Stata’s collapse command does. The default in ascol is to collapse the data to a lower frequency and delete all other variables except the newly created one. However, there might be circumstances when we want to retain all the observations without collapsing the data set. Towards this end, we can use the option keep(all) or keep(vars). keep(all) will keep the data set as it was before running the command, while keep(vars) will collapse the data to a lower frequency and keep all the variables of the data set. Here is the summary:

    keep(all) conversion happens without collapsing the data and without deleting other variables

    keep(vars) conversion happens without deleting other variables; data collapses to a lower frequency

    timevar(date) panelvar(symbol) : If the data is already declared as panel with the tsset, these two options are not required. If the data is declared as panel data, then timevar() is used to declare the time variable and panelvar() is used to declare the panel variable, here it is the company symbol.

    Try removing the add(citation) from the command and let me know if that causes the issue. I shall add an option of cite to generate the citation.

    You can use table command for this. see this example

    sysuse nlsw88
    asdoc table industry , contents(n age mean age mean wage)

    Hello Molnar
    Since I cannot replicate the problem you are referring to. For the record, asreg does not do any extrapolation. If the dependent variable is missing, it shall create missing output.

    Please identify any unexpected results in the following code and the results shown below the code.

    *Create some dummy data
    set obs 100
    
    gen company_id = _n
    expand 20
    bys company_id : gen year = _n + 1980
    gen dep_var = uniform()
    gen x1 = uniform()
    gen x2 = uniform()
    gen x3 = uniform()
    replace dep_var = . in 10
    
    *rolling window regression
    asreg dep_var x1 x2 x3, window(year 5) by(company_id ) 
    
    *Note that the results are missing for observation 5 as I set the dep_var equal to missing in observation 10
    
    . list company_id year dep_var x1 x2 x3 _b_x1 _b_x2 _b_x3 _b_cons in 1/20

    Akanksha
    The message of asdoc is quite detailed and reports a possible solution to the problem. Let me discuss first the circumstance why this happens, and then discuss the solution.

    Why this message is shown
    asdoc first checks whether it can write output to the current directory. By default, Stata sets the installation folder as a working directory. This might be a system folder where write-protection is enabled. If asdoc cannot write to this directory, it will not proceed further and generate the error message.

    What is the solution
    The solution is to create a directory where you can the write-permission. Once the directory is create, you can change to that directory by typeing

    cd 

    Suppose you created a directory in C folder with the name results, then to change to that directory, type this in Stata
    cd C:/results
    And then use asdoc.

    I think I shall fix this and update asdoc. At the moment, can you lease try and let me know the whether the following code works. The catch is you need to add a space between , and stat

    Hello Paul
    Thanks for the suggestion and contributing to asreg. I hope it will be useful for many other members of the asreg community. I shall implement these changes in the coming version 5.0 of asreg, which has a significant speed advantage and has a new flexible window.

    Hello Nick
    The error message that you are receiving is not from the asdoc command, it is from the newey command. The newey command throws this error when there are time series gaps in your data. However, you can use the force option to ignore the gaps. Since asdoc also has the force option, there was a contradiction. I have fixed it now, asdoc version 2.3.8.7 : Changes made on Sep 9, 2020.

    The new version of asdoc can be installed from my site. Copy and paste the following line in Stata and press enter.

    net install asdoc, from(http://fintechprofessor.com) replace
