{title:Univariate table}

{p 8 24}{cmd:unitab} {it:depvar} [{it:varlist1}] [{cmd:if} {it:exp}] [{cmd:in} {it:range}]] [{cmd:,} {cmdab:l:evel(}{it:#}{cmd:)} {cmdab:f:ormat(}{it:%fmt}{cmd:)} {cmdab:c:ategorical(}{it:varlist2}{cmd:)} {cmdab:ex:act}]
        
{title:Description}

{p 0 7}{cmd:unitab} displays a univariate table with the maximum-likelihood estimates of odds ratio and confidence intervals using {help logit} 
   command and some useful information using {help tabulate} command.

{it:depvar}  binary dependent variable that must be coded as
		
		   {it:depvar} = 0    or
		   {it:depvar} = #    with # > 0 

{it:varlist1}  covariates treated as continuous.
{it:varlist2}  covariates treated as categorical. 

{p 0 7}You can specify the same variable as continuous and/or categorical. First results are displayed for continuous variables 
and then for categorical variables.

{title:Explanation of the table}

{p 0 4} Continuous variable

{p 8 0} {text:1 column :} {help summarize} {it:depvar} if {it:continuous_variable} == #  	

{p 8 0} 2 column     : total observations  

{p 8 0} 3 column     : point estimate of odds ratio using maximum likelihood estimators {help logit}

{p 8 0} 4-5 columns : lower and upper bound for odds ratio at a certain {cmd:level(}{it:#}{cmd:)} 

{p 8 0} 6 column     : statistical significance of the odds ratio using a Wald test 

{p 0 4} Categorical variable

{p 8 0} 1 column     : {help tabulate} {it:depvar}  {it: categorical_variable}  (display only for {it:depvar} = # )	

{p 8 0} 2 column     : total observations for each category  

{p 8 0} 3 column     : point estimate of odds ratio using maximum likelihood estimators 

{p 8 0} 4-5 columns : lower and upper bound for odds ratio at a certain {cmd:level(}{it:#}{cmd:)} 

{p 8 19} 6 column     : statistical significance of the Pearson's chi-squared test for the hypothesis that the rows and columns in a two-way table are independent

{title:Options}

    {cmd:level(}{it:#}{cmd:)} specifies the confidence level, in percent, for calculation of confidence intervals 
                              of the odds ratios; see help {help level}
                              
    {cmd:format(%}{it:fmt}{cmd:)} specifies the display format for odds ratio and confidence intervals in the univariate table.  
                    {cmd:format(%4.3f)} is the default; {cmd:format(%6.5f)} is a popular alternative.
    
    {cmd:categorical(}{it:varlist2}{cmd:)} specifies the variables that you want treat as categorical.
    
    {cmd:exact} displays the significance calculated by Fisher's exact. 
        We recommend specifying {cmd:exact} whenever samples are small.
