The new dtable command creates a table of descriptive statistics.
dtable reports summary statistics for continuous and categorical factor variables. You can select which statistics you want to report for each variable; select from the mean, standard deviation, median, interquartile range, percentage, proportion, and many others. You can also easily compare statistics across categories of another variable.
Tables created by dtable can be customized in many ways—statistics to be reported, numeric and string formats, notes, titles, labels, and more. The table can be exported directly to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, HTML, Markdown, PDF, LaTeX, SMCL, or plain text.
dtable makes it easy to create what is commonly called a “Table 1” – the first table included in almost every research paper. These tables are useful for anyone doing exploratory analysis or creating a table for publication.
