{title:Description}

{p 4 8 4}
{cmd:svypxcat} requires that the survey design variables be identified using {help svyset}
 

{p 4 8 4}
{cmd:svypxcat} calculates and optionally graphs means from linear regression
   models or proportions from logistic regression models corrected for the survey
   sampling scheme (weights) for one or two nominal X variables, adjusted
   for covariates. If a second X is specified, means or proportions are calculated
   for all possible combinations of X categories, and an interaction effect is tested.
   Optionally, model estimates and/or a graph may be displayed. Dummy variables are
   created for {it:xvar1}. The lowest dummy variable defaults to the reference group.
   If {it:xvar2} is specified, dummy variables are created for it, as well as
   interaction terms.  (Updated for Version 9)

 
{title:Variables and options required}

{p 4}{it:yvar} is the dependent variable

{p 8 8 2}If {it:yvar} is continuous, defaults to linear regression

{p 8 8 2}If {it:yvar} is binary (0,1), defaults to logistic regression


{p 4 8 2}
{cmd:xvar(}{it:xvar1}{cmd:)} is the nominal variable for categories of estimated
  means or proportions

{p 4 8 2}
{cmd:xvar(}{it:xvar1 xvar2}{cmd:)} gives categories of all combinations of 
  {it:xvar1} and {it:xvar2}; interaction between {it:xvar1} and {it:xvar2} is
  tested (Partial F for linear regression or Wald test for logistic regression)

        
{title:Options} 

{p 4 8 2}   
{cmd:adjust(}{it:covlist}{cmd:)} lists any covariates. If none are specified,
   unadjusted means or proportions are reported. Covariates are set to their mean,
   based on observations used in the analysis, or can be set to user specified values
   (e.g., age=50 gender=1). (Note: if an {cmd:adjust} variable is nominal with more
   than 2 categories, it must be defined with dummy variables in the {cmd:adjust}
   list, whereas dummy variables are created automatically in the {cmd:xvar} option)

{p 4 8 2}   
{cmd:model} -- for display purposes only, this option prints the regression table

{p 4 8 2}   
{cmd:subpop(}{it:subpop_spec}{cmd:)} -- specifies that estimates be computed for
    the single subpopulation identified in {it:subpop_spec}

{p 4 8 2}   
{cmd:level(}#{cmd:)} -- specifies the confidence level, in percent, for
   calculation of confidence intervals (default=95%)

{p 4 8 2}   
{cmd:graph} -- if one X ({it:xvar1}), graphs means or proportions and confidence
   intervals; if both {it:xvar1} and {it:xvar2} are specified, points are graphed
   for each mean or proportion, but confidence intervals are not graphed; {it:xvar1}
   is used for the x-axis with separate points for categories of {it:xvar2}

{p 4 8 2}   
{cmd:bar} -- can be used with the {cmd:graph} option to display a bar graph
  instead of points

{p 4 8 2}   
{cmd:linear} -- requests linear regression when {it:yvar} is binary (0,1); if not 
    specified, logistic regression is assumed

{p 4 8 2}   
{cmd:savepred(}{it:filename}{cmd:)} -- saves adjusted values and CI's to a Stata file


{title:Examples}

{p 4 8 2}{cmd:. svypxcat chol, xvar(race) adjust(sbp age=50) model}

{p 8 8 2}
Uses linear regression to calculate mean cholesterol level by race category,
  adjusted for mean sbp and age=50

{p 4 8 2}{cmd:. svypxcat chol, xvar(ses) adjust(sbp age) graph}

{p 8 8 2}
Uses linear regression to calculate mean cholesterol by levels of
  socio-economic status, adjusted for sbp and age; displays graph

{p 4 8 2}{cmd:. svypxcat htn, xvar(gender race) adjust(age smoke etoh)}

{p 8 8 2}
Uses logistic regression to calculate proportion of hypertensives for all
  combinations of gender (2 categories) and race (4 categories) for a total
  of 8 proportions, adjusted for age, smoking status, and alcohol consumption;
  tests for interaction between gender and race

{p 4 8 2}{cmd:. svypxcat htn, xvar(race gender) adjust(age smoke etoh) graph bar}

{p 8 8 2}
Uses logistic regression to calculate the adjusted proportion of hypertensives
  for all combinations of gender and race; bar graph of proportions, race on
  the x-axis
