lyxtables
I have been using outreg2 to get tables in tex format, in Stata; and then to Lyx. However, you always have to make changes to the code: add lines, arrange the notes to the table, change caption of table, etc. (usually after using excel2latex)
Is there an alternative for outreg2? I've seen esttab being more flexible. What command would you recommend for export tables from Sata to tex?
Thanks in advance.
Not that I know much (if anything) about p-values, but maybe this can be a start. I'd probably choose threeparttable:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs,threeparttable}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\centering
\renewcommand*\TPTnoteLabel[1]{\parbox[b]{3em}{\hfill#1\,}}
\begin{threeparttable}
\caption{My caption}
\begin{tabular}{lcc}\toprule
& {Head 1} & {Head 2} \\\midrule
Observation 1 & 1.23\tnote{*} & 1.23 \\
& (0.12) & (0.12) \\
Observation 2 & 1.23 & 1.23\tnote{**} \\
& (0.12) & (0.12) \\
Observation 3 & 1.23\tnote{***} & 1.23 \\
& (0.12) & (0.12) \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\footnotesize
\begin{tablenotes}
\item[Notes:] Bla bla bla bla..
\item[\tnote{***}] Significant at the
\item[\tnote{**}] Significant at the
\item[\tnote{*}] Significant at the
\end{tablenotes}
\end{threeparttable}
\end{table}
\end{document}
Your command
% Allow line breaks with \\ in specialcells
\newcommand{\specialcell}[2][c]{%
\begin{tabular}[#1]{@{}c@{}}#2\end{tabular}
}
defines centred entries, you can change it to define left aligned
% Allow line breaks with \\ in specialcells
\newcommand{\specialcell}[2][c]{%
\begin{tabular}[#1]{@{}l@{}}#2\end{tabular}% missing % in original
%%%
}
Rather than force things into the first column you could replace
\textbf{\specialcell{C\'omo es su relaci\'on con la comunidad\\en la que se encuentra la escuela?}}& & & \\
by
\multicolumn{4}{\textbf{\specialcell{C\'omo es su relaci\'on con la comunidad\\en la que se encuentra la escuela?}}\\
If your generator can make spanning entries?

I use Ben Jann's
estoutsuite of commands: http://repec.org/bocode/e/estout/ . Very well documented, and very flexible. It has commands that makes LaTeX tables from Stata output (not only regression results, also matrices, summary stats etc ), but it allows you to append/prepend text to lines (eg\addlinespaceorcmidrulefrom thebooktabspackage), which makes it quite flexible. I find it easier to make the tabular part of the table with Stata/estout, and then useinput{}to import that into my LaTeX code. Works very well for me!
