Adjusting decimals points with asdoc not working?

[Al Adams]

Hi, I am using asdoc to output my regression results. Here is my code:

mixed wages c.cage##i.group || id: cage, cov(un) variance mle
asdoc replay, replace save(mlm-regs) dec(4) nested cnames(Model 1) title(Table 3. Results for Wages) label tzok setstars(*@.05, **@.01, ***@.001) notes(Source: NLSY97)

mixed wages c.cage##i.group var1 var2 var3 || id: cage, cov(un) variance mle
asdoc replay, save(mlm-regs) dec(4) nested cnames(Model 2) title(Table 3. Results for Wages) label tzok setstars(*@.05, **@.01, ***@.001) notes(Source: NLSY97)

mixed wages c.cage##i.group female var1 var2 var3  var4 var5 var6 || id: cage, cov(un) variance mle
asdoc replay, save(mlm-regs) dec(4) nested cnames(Model 3) title(Table 3. Results for Wages) label tzok setstars(*@.05, **@.01, ***@.001) notes(Source: NLSY97)

mixed wages c.cage##i.group female var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 var6  var7 var8 var9 || id: cage, cov(un) variance mle
asdoc replay, save(mlm-regs) dec(4) nested cnames(Model 4) title(Table 3. Results for Wages) label tzok setstars(*@.05, **@.01, ***@.001) notes(Source: NLSY97)

Regardless of what I set as the number of decimal points, the outputted table includes only 2 decimal points. Does anyone know what could be going on or how to fix this issue?

asdoc is a community-contributed command by Attaullah Shah . He might be able to offer some insight. FWIW, I cannot reproduce your issue using a similar structure.

webuse nlswork, clear 

mixed ln_wage  c.age##i.race || id: , cov(un) variance mle
asdoc replay, replace save(mlm-regs) dec(4) nested cnames(Model 1) title(Table 3. Results for Wages) label tzok setstars(*@.05, **@.01, ***@.001) notes(Source: NLSY97)

I can confirm the results reported by Justin Niakamal . When you type

which asdoc

You can see the latest version information. The current version is

*!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Version 2.3.9.5 : Changes made on April 10 , 2021   : Bug fixed in sum command when a variable had all empty values
*!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you do not have the above version, you can update to it from my site. Copy and paste the following line in Stata and press enter.

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

Please note that the above line has to be copied in full.


asdocx is now available

A more powerful and flexible version of asdoc is now available. I call it asdocx. You may like to check the details here

It is working now for some reason. But thank you both!

Hi Prof. Shah, I have quick question: Is there a way to omit the pseudo r-squared produced in the asdoc table? I tried drop(r2_p) and drop(e(r2_p)) and neither seem to work for me.

I have the same problem as Adams. I am getting only decimals for my regression output even though I specify dec(4) in the 'asdoc reg' command line. I installed the code :
net install asdoc, from(http://fintechprofessor.com) replace discard Still getting only two decimal output for Reg. Can someone help me?

[Attaullah Shah]

Please post your code and an example data using dataex (from SSC). I am using the following code and recieve four decimal points.

sysuse auto
asdoc reg price mpg rep78, nest dec(4) replace

Terminology can and does vary but in my reading considering say 1.2345

1 precedes the decimal point

. (dot or period or stop) is here the decimal point (but in some countries a comma , is conventional, and calling it a decimal comma is welcome)

2345 are digits after the decimal point; here there are 4 of them and I say (and commonly read of) reporting to 4 decimal places

See e.g. https://mathworld.wolfram.com/DecimalPoint.html

Different usages would underline the need to be clear about the terminology you are using!

Hi Prof. Attaullah Shah

I find that the decimal points cannot be change without reinstall the package again. If I don't reinstall the package and start the Stata program again, the decimal settings will follow the previous command. Can you help us to solve this problem? Much appreciated!

Hi, same issue here. Couldn't fix it after reinstalling and trying several modifications in the command. I also notices that with values between 0 to 9 it shows 2 decimals. And with empty value or 2 digits value it does not show any coefficient. Then, STATA is acctually reading the command, but perhaps is something by default in our STATA setting since @Ataullah Shah and Justin Niakamal can run the desired decimals. Any help regarding this is very welcome!
