Standard tables generated by commands

For Stata, see also the DIME Wiki

	Package	Command	Example
Stata	logout		logout, save("table1.xlsx") excel replace fix : as a prepend to tabstat, for example.
R	print	print() can handle certain cases
Matlab

Standard regression table

	Package	Command
Stata	estout	eststo, estout, etc.
R	various
Matlab	native	writetable?

Post-processing regression output in programming language

Sometimes, you want to treat regression output as data.

	Package	Command
Stata	regsave	regsave
R	various
Matlab	?

Arbitrary data to Excel

This is useful if the data needs to be combined in non-standard ways that are easy to do in Excel, but hard to program in other languages.

	Package	Command
Stata	native	putexcel in combination with r() or e()
R	writexl	writexl::write_xlsx()
R	openxlsx	openxlsx::write.xlsx()
Matlab	native	writematrix
Matlab	native	writetable

Examples

Stata

// run gmm model
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r13/auto
gmm (mpg - {b1}*weight - {b2}*length - {b0}), instruments(weight length)
matrix b = e(b)'
// prepare sheet
putexcel set myresults, sheet("GMM Results")
// write out results
putexcel B1 = "Coefficients"
putexcel A2 = matrix(b), rownames nformat(number_d2)

The resulting Excel sheet myresults.xlsx looks like this:

	Coefficients
b1	_cons	0.00
b2	_cons	-0.08
b0	_cons	47.88

An Excel formula could now collect specific coefficients across multiple regressions into a summary table, possibly easier than to program it in Stata. For more information, see putexcel (available since at least Stata 13)

MATLAB

    fileName = "./tables/table_6.xlsx";
    writetable(tDeltaChannelsAll, fileName, "Sheet", "default", "WriteRowNames", true, "Range", "A1");

Notes

R

There is also a xlsx package, but it has a Java dependency, which is not as robust cross-platform.

Saving a figure

	Package	Command
Stata	native	graph export
R	native, ggplot2	png(), ggsave()
Matlab	native	saveas(fig,filename)
Matlab	native	exportgraphics()
Mathematica	native	Export[]
