Get outreg2 to report AIC in summary statistics

[Christiana Botticello]

Greetings,

I am using outreg2 to create a table presenting multinomial logit results and would like to add the AIC to the summary statistics. In keeping with advice I picked up from an archived Statalist post (on the same question but for outreg - not outreg2)

http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2013-03/msg00216.html

and example 9 in the help for outreg2

http://repec.org/bocode/o/outreg2

I have used the following code but have tried to substitute the "addstat" option for the "addrows" option.

mlogit DepVar IndVar1 IndVar2, base(2) r
est store DV1M1, title(Model 1)
estat ic
mat es_ic = r(S)
local AIC: display %4.1f es_ic[1,5]
outreg2 using Table_Dev_Pref.xls, dec(3) addstat(AIC, 'AIC') groupvar(IndVar1 IndVar2) replace

Stata returns the error:
unknown function ()
r(133);

How can I correct this code to get the AIC into my outreg2 table output? Alternatively, is there an easier or other way to get the AIC into my outreg2 table?

Kind regards,
Christiana

The left sign for the local macro should be ` left single quote and not apostrophe ' (it is above the Tab and below the Escape in the keyboard)

outreg2 using Table_Dev_Pref.xls, dec(3) groupvar(IndVar1 IndVar2) addstat(AIC, `AIC') replace

Thank you Oded for your reply, I did not realize that these were different characters. My code works perfectly now.
