asdoc for a two-way table and chi2

[Mattia Gatti]

Hi there,

I am trying to use asdoc to export my chi-square tests outputs to word. Unfortunately, it looks like chi2 is not supported by asdoc.
My very simple code is the following:

asdoc tab age treatment, col chi replace title(Chi-squared test for age by treatment condition)

Is there a way to add the value of my chi2-test statistic plus the p-value to the output table? If not, is there a way to add a note (I tried but I failed to do so until now..) under the table with such information?


Sincerely
Mattia

Hi Mattia,

if you might want to use "table" instead, maybe this example by Jeff Pitblado helps?

In the last several years, I have shifted my development focus to asdocx, which has now evolved into a more refined product. However, asdoc continues to serve a wide range of academic publication purposes. For the problem at hand, you can store the Chi-squared and its p-value in macros and send these macros to the Word document using the text option of asdoc. Please see the following examples.

sysuse auto
asdoc tab foreign rep78, chi replace
loc chi : di %9.3f = `r(chi2)'
loc p : di %9.3f = `r(p)'
asdoc, text(Chi = `chi' ; P-value = `p')

Example using asdocx

asdocx tab foreign rep78, chi replace

Thanks a lot to you both for the valuable suggestions!
