Consider the following toy example using the community-contributed Stata command coefplot
:
sysuse auto
reg weight i.foreign
eststo, title("Weight"): margins, eydx(foreign) post
reg price i.foreign
eststo, title("Price"): margins, eydx(foreign) post
coefplot est1 est2, horizontal
Is it possible to get the titles (or even the variable labels) in the legend, instead of the estimate names (i.e. Weight
and Price
instead of est1
and est2
)?
I know how to do it by hand, but I can't figure out how to do this automatically with many models.
Using estimates store
instead of eststo
does the trick:
clear
sysuse auto
reg weight i.foreign
margins, eydx(foreign) post
estimates store weight
reg price i.foreign
margins, eydx(foreign) post
estimates store price
coefplot weight price, horizontal
Similarly, using a list
and a for
loop:
local list_of_names weight price
foreach item of local list_of_names {
reg `item' i.foreign
margins, eydx(foreign) post
estimates store `item'
}
coefplot `list_of_names', horizontal
You can of course use two different lists
for variable names and 'labels'.
