These matrices will have names {cmd:r(Stat1)}, etc., together with their rownames saved as {cmd:r(name1)}, etc., and/or {cmd:r(StatTot)} or {cmd:r(StatTotal)}. These matrices are combined and put them in the single named matrix {it:matname}. If {it:matname} already exists, it will be overwritten unless option {cmd:safe} is specified; in this case, an error message will be issued. {title:Remarks} {p 4 4 2} Note that not all requests to {cmd:tabstat} produce output in suitable form. In particular, a call that requests multiple statistics for multiple groups and multiple variables is not suitable. {cmd:tabstatmat} cannot be smart about detecting such calls and labelling rows or columns correctly. {cmd:tabstat} does not save all the necessary information in row and column names and composite row or column names such as "Foreign N" would be illegal in any case. {title:Options} {p 4 8 2}{cmd:nototal} suppresses the picking up of marginal totals. {title:Examples} {p 4 8 2}{cmd:. sysuse auto, clear}{p_end} {p 4 8 2}{cmd:. tabstat mpg, by(rep78) s(n mean sd) save}{p_end} {p 4 8 2}{cmd:. tabstatmat mpgstat}{p_end} {p 4 8 2}{cmd:. tabstatmat mpgstat, nototal} {title:Author} {p 4 4 2} Austin Nichols{break} austinnichols@gmail.com {title:Acknowledgements} {p 4 4 2} The first seven versions of {cmd: tabstatmat} were written by Nicholas J. Cox, Durham University. The problem was suggested by Friedrich Huebler, who also advised of problems arising when only {cmd:r(StatTot)} is {cmd:save}d by {cmd:tabstat}. Lucy Chung advised that a previous version had been broken by a change to {cmd:tabstat} in Stata 9. Fredrik Wilhelmsson indicated a bug when totals are not saved and how to fix it. He also suggested the {cmd:nototal} option. Zurab Sajaia advised of a bug when matrices with many rows are requested and suggested how to fix it and made other useful suggestions. {title:Also see:} {p 4 13 2} Online: help for {help tabstat}, {help matrix}, {help statsmat} (if installed), {help tabexport} (if installed), {help tabout} (if installed), {help outmat} (if installed), {help outsum} (if installed), {help outtable} (if installed), {help outtex} (if installed)
