Either ^sd^ or ^se^ can be specified ^ci^ reports confidence intervals ^level^ specifies the level of significance for the confidence intervals; The default is 95% ^nototal^ specifies not to report overall statistics when using with by() ^bdec^ specifies the number of digits after the decimal for the standard deviations and the confidence intervals. ^sdbracket^ puts standard deviations (or standard errors of means) in [] rather than () ^cibrace^ puts confidence intervals in {} rather than [] ^mtest^ performs t tests on the equality of means (of the current category and the rest). By default, the level of significance is indicated by stars (* significant at 10%; ** significant at 5%; *** significant at 1%). ^mtprob^ p-values of the test statistic are included instead of stars. ^mtse^ SEs of the test statistic are included instead of stars. Either ^mtprob^ or ^mtse^ can be speficied. ^mtbdec^ specifies the number of digits after the decimal for the p-values and the SEs of the mean-difference test. ^vertical^ presents variables in the table vertically (the default is horizontally).
