Labeling interaction terms in coefplot

[Charlie Groscup]

Hi,

I am trying to create a coefficient plot using just an interaction term that interacts a dummy variable and a year, but the labels are rather busy while I just want them to read as the year.

Below is the code I used for the regression and coefplot:

reg employed i.num_kids##i.year age i.statefip [pw=wtsupp]
est sto model9


coefplot model9, keep(*.num_kids#*.year) coeflabels(1.num_kids##2000year= "2000")

I've also attached the coefplot that was generated below. As opposed to "2 or more kids#year=1981" I want the label to just read "1981".

Thanks in advance for any help.

coefplot is from SSC (FAQ Advice #12). Write a regex for the coefficient names.

webuse grunfeld
xtreg invest c.mvalue#i.year
set scheme s1mono
coefplot, drop(_cons) nolab saving(gr1, replace)
coefplot, drop(_cons) nolab rename(^.*([1][9][0-9][0-9])\.year\#c\.mvalue$ = \1, regex) saving(gr2, replace)
gr combine gr1.gph gr2.gph

Hi Andrew,

Thank you so much, regex solved my issue!
