Suggestion for graphing regression coefficients

[Tracy Lam]

I have a variable with six categories that I've entered into a regression model with a set of covariates and fixed effects. What is the best way to graph or display these main regression coefficients? How do I graph the reference group? For reference, this is for a PowerPoint slide and I would prefer not to display the table of regression coefficients.

You wouldn't typically plot the baseline with the regression coefficients, because the baseline is typically of a different magnitude from the regression coefficients, which are differences of each category from the chosen baseline category.

To answer your question, I think that there is either an official or user-written command that plots regression coefficients, but I don't recall its name. You can always do something along the lines of

sysuse auto
regress mpg i.rep78 c.weight
margins , dydx(rep78)
