You will also see how you can create customized tables after collecting results from any Stata command. This means your table can include summary statistics, results of standard hypothesis tests, regression results, and results of tests and fitted statistics obtained after model fitting. With the results collected from Stata commands, you will learn how to specify a table layout—what belongs on the rows and columns—and how to customize the look of the table. You can modify labels in headers, numerical formats, text alignment, cell shading, border lines, and much more. You will also learn how to export your customized tables to Word®, Excel®, PDF, LaTeX, HTML, Markdown, SMCL, and plain text.
