Confidence intervals in matrix form
-----------------------------------

    ^cistat^ varname [^if^ exp] [^in^ range] [weight]
    [ ^, by(^byvarname^) t^otal ci_options ^m^atname^(^matrix_name^)^
    tabdisp_options ]

    ^cistat^ varlist [^if^ exp] [^in^ range] [weight]
    [ ^,^ ci_options ^m^atname^(^matrix_name^)^ tabdisp_options ]


Description
-----------

^cistat^ calculates and displays for the groups or variables specified
the number of observations, mean, standard error of the mean and
confidence interval for the mean. The results may be stored in a matrix
for further use.

Options
-------

ci_options are options of ^ci^ other than ^by( )^ and ^total^. See help
    for @ci@.

^by(^byvarname^)^ specifies that calculations are to be performed for
    groups defined by byvarname. ^total^ specifies that a calculation is
    also to be performed for all observations. Note that ^by( )^ is
    allowed only with a single variable and that ^total^ is allowed only
    with ^by( )^.

tabdisp_options are options of ^tabdisp^. Note that the defaults used
    are ^missing format(%9.3f)^.

^matname(^matrix_name^)^ saves the matrix produced in the matrix named.
    The matrix will have column names ^n^, ^mean^, ^se^, ^llimit^ and
    ^ulimit^, except that ^exposure^ will be used instead of ^n^ if the
    ^exposure( )^ option is invoked.


Examples
--------

    . ^cistat turn displ gratio, m(ci)^
    . ^svmat ci, n(col)^

    . ^cistat mpg, by(foreign) total^
