Outreg2 and summarize statistics

[Teresa Fuchs]

Dear all,
I try to get my summarize statistics by using outreg2.

sum
outreg2 using myfile, sum(log) replace eqkeep(N se mean min max coef se) see

I get the following error message:

matsize too small
You have attempted to create a matrix with too many rows or columns or attempted to fit a model with too many variables. You need to increase matsize; it is currently 400. Use set matsize; see help matsize.

However, I definitely have less than 400 variables so I don’t understand the error message.
As I want only a small number of variables in my table, I used the following code from help outreg2 trying to solve the problem like this.

outreg2 using myfile, sum(log) replace keep(GermanFDIs GDP EnvPolicyIndex Stringency Clarity) eqkeep(N se mean min max coef se) see

However, the error message remains the same.

Have you tried increasing the maximum matrix size?

help matsize

Sorry, I tried it, but didn't notice that I have to include it into my do file. As I didn't do that, I got the error message again and had to use

set matsize 800

again. Then it works!

Quote from help matsize:

permanently specifies that, in addition to making the change right now, the matsize setting be remembered and become the default setting when you invoke Stata.

set matsize 800, permanently

Great, thank you!

Dear all,
I am using outreg2 to display my descriptive statistics in word.
I get the message:

Following variable is string, not included:
Countryj country_name_ISO Industryi Agriculturalmachinerytractors Arablelandhectares Totalemploymentinagriculture TotalassetsofGermanmultinatio Totalnumberofmultinationalfir changeenvironmentalpolicy Changeinchemicals ChangeinMechEng ChangeinElectricity ChangeinMotorVehicles Following variable has no observation
Hit Enter to continue.”

Therefore I used the keep option to display only the variables I need for my descriptive statistics. This solves the problem with the string variables.
However, the message

Hit Enter to continue.

remains.

My problem is that I need a do file that works without interruptions when handing in my thesis.
Is there any possibility?

Teresa,

your code was

 
 outreg2 using myfile, sum(log) replace [...] see

just drop the -see- option.

Thank you!
