why is my y-axis 0.0 on density

[Martin Imelda Borg]

Hello,

I plotted my graph using the code:

Question: Why am I get 0.0 on each demarcation of the y axis scale pls?
How can i fix this?

twoway kdesnity postop if treatment ==1 [aw=attweight], bwidth(10) lcolor(red) ///
|| kdesnity postop if treatment ==0 [aw=attweight], bwidth(10) lcolor(blue) ///
legend(order(1 "treatment" 0 "control") ring(0) cols(1) pos(1) ///
ylabel(,angle(h) format(%3.1f)) ytitle("Density")

Difficult to say, But what is twoway kdesnity? Presumably twoway kdensity.

You could try fixing it with an extra option such as yla(, format(%3.2f))

[Martin Imelda Borg]

that's correct -twoway kdensity - good spot !

WIth regards to the suggestion you made in -post2- , I still get the same numbers on the y axis this time 0.03 on the density y axis with (,format(%3.2f))


Is there another way I could increase the decimal points?

[Nick Cox]

If they're all 0.03 that makes no sense to me. Your Stata may be corrupted. Have you contacted StataCorp technical support?

[Nick Cox]

Alternatively, please post a reproducible data example that leads to the malformed graph in question with your Stata.

Hi , no it’s not corrupted, i think there may be an issue with my Y scale in terms of not showing all decimal places after. i can not send a copy of the data via datex because i have 168,000 observations.

Would a screenshot of a sample of the data work ?

[Nick Cox]

The idea behind dataex is to show a data example, not the entirety of a dataset unless it is very small.

Please read the help for dataex and also FAQ Advice #12, which explains that screenshots are rarely as helpful as you hope.

if you can’t give us a reproducible example then you should contact StataCorp as already suggested.
