For example, one option, {cmd:landscape}, will change the page orientation from portrait to landscape. {synoptline} {p2colreset}{...} {marker description}{...} {title:Description} {pstd} {cmd:summtab} summarizes a list of continuous and/or categorical variables overall and/or by a categorical stratification variable, and then outputs the results in a nicely-formatted, publication-quality table in a Word document, using the Stata command {help putdocx}. The program can also output the results to an Excel document using {help putexcel}. {cmd:summtab} requires Stata version 15. {marker options}{...} {title:Options Explanations} {phang} {cmd:contvars(}{it:varlist}) may be specified on its own without {cmd:catvars(}{it:varlist}), if no categorical variables need to be summarized. Similarly, {cmd:catvars(}{it:varlist}) may be specified on its own without {cmd:contvars(}{it:varlist}), if no continuous variables need to be summarized. However, one or the other must be specified. {phang} {cmd:contptype(}{it:integer}) specifies the continuous p-value type. The options are 1 = ANOVA; 2 = Kruskall-wallis test; default is 1 = ANOVA, if the mean option is selected. NOTE: If mean is not selected and median is selected, the continuous p-value type will default to 2 = Kruskall-wallis test. This cannot be overridden by the {cmd:contptype(}{it:integer}) option.{p_end} {phang} {cmd:catptype(}{it:integer}) specifies the categorical p-value type. The options are 1 = chi-square test; 2 = Fisher's exact test; default is 1 = chi-square test {p_end} {phang} {cmd:catmisstype(}{it:string}) specifies how to handle missing values for categorical variables. The options are "none" = Missing values are not summarized (default); "missperc" = Missing values are treated as another category and included in the percent of the total; "missnoperc" = Missing values are treated as another category, but are not included in the percent of the total.{p_end} {phang} {cmd:wtfreq(}{it:string}) specifies how to handle cell frequencies for categorical variables when weights are used. The options are "off" = Frequencies are not reported for weighted data (default); "fractional" = Frequencies are reported, but are kept in their fractional form; "ceiling" = Frequencies are reported and are rounded up to the nearest whole number. {p_end} {phang} {cmd:catrow} specifies that the N (%) of the highest ordered category is reported on the same row as the variable label for binary variables. For example, suppose the variable is depression and is coded as 1=yes and 0=no. This option will report the N (%) for the yes category on the same row as the variable label "Depression", and will not report the N (%) for the no category. This option only works if {cmd:catmisstype} is set to none. It is the program user's responsibility to make sure that the meaning of the N (%) for the highest ordered category lines up with the variable label. In the previous example, if the variable had been coded as 1=yes and 2=no, then the no category would have been reported on the same line as the variable label. In this case, the variable label should either be changed to something like "Not Depressed", or the categories should be recoded so that the yes category is the highest ordered. {p_end} {marker example}{...} {title:Examples} {phang2}{cmd:. sysuse auto, clear}{p_end} Run summtab, with summaries stratified by the "foreign" variable {phang2}{cmd:. summtab, by(foreign) contvars(price mpg weight length) catvars(rep78) mean median pval landscape replace} {cmd: word wordname(summary_table) title(My Table 1)} Run summtab, with overall summaries only {phang2}{cmd:. summtab, contvars(price mpg weight length) catvars(foreign rep78) word wordname(summary_table)} {cmd:title(My Table 1) mean median replace} Run summtab, generate Excel file {phang2}{cmd:. summtab, by(foreign) contvars(price mpg weight length) catvars(rep78) mean median total} {cmd:title(My Table 1) excel excelname(summary_table) replace} Run summtab, more options {phang2}{cmd:. summtab, by(foreign) contvars(price mpg weight length) catvars(rep78) mean median range total} {cmd:medfmt(1) mnfmt(2) word wordname(summary_table) title(My Table 1) replace} {marker author}{...} {title:Author} John A.
