how to set the model titles in a more elegant way for esttab

[Fred Lee]

***ssc install esttab
I want the model titles to be "Model 1" "Model 2" "Model 3", I know we can set it using

esttab, mtitles("Model 1" "Model 2" "Model 3")

however, I have a series of models, I want to use the number option and the prefix option to generate model titles automatically. However, it always includes the names stored in Stata. How to correct this?

esttab mlab(,numbers notitles  prefix("Model ")

If you are sequentially naming columns, then just prefix the numbers with "Model ".

sysuse auto, clear
eststo m1: reg mpg weight
eststo m2: reg mpg weight disp
eststo m3: reg mpg weight disp turn
esttab m*, numbers("Model ") mlab(none) lab

Res.:

. esttab m*, numbers("Model ") mlab(none) lab

Oh my god, I'm surprised I didn't find that option. Thanks so much!
