Labelling axis using values from another variable

[Hossein Jebeli]

I am using coefplot to show the estimation coefficients. The independent variable is categorized into its deciles. How can I show the decile values (stored in x_deciles) on the chart x-axis label instead of the D_x levels?

xtile D_x=x, nq(10)
pctile x_deciles= x , nq(10)
    
mlogit y  i.D_x, baseoutcome(1) rrr

coefplot (., keep(2:   2.D_x 3.D_x 4.D_x)), vertical coeflabels("2.D_x"=x_deciles[_2] "3.D_x"=x_deciles[_3] "4.D_x"=x_deciles[_4] )

coefplot is from SSC, as you are asked to explain in FAQ Advice #12. Data example?

Thanks Andrew, Here is an example:

sysuse auto, clear
xtile D_x=rep78, nq(3)
pctile x_deciles= rep78 , nq(3)

mlogit foreign  i.D_x, baseoutcome(1) rrr

coefplot (., keep(2.D_x 3.D_x)), vertical

How can I change the labels of the x-axis to show the quantiles stored in x_deciles?

sysuse auto, clear
xtile D_x=rep78, nq(3)
pctile x_deciles= rep78 , nq(3)
mlogit foreign i.D_x, baseoutcome(1) rrr
coefplot (., keep(2.D_x 3.D_x)), vertical xlab(1 "`=x_deciles[1]'" 2 "`=x_deciles[2]'")
