Title
meansdplot -- Plot means and standard deviations for groups
Syntax
meansdplot depvar grpvar [if] [in] [, median outer(real) inner(real) noconnect noshade mlabel(marker_label) * ]
options description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main
median plot medians in addition to means
outer() set the value for the outer fence (default none)
inner() set the value for the inner fence (default = 1)
noconnect do not connect means with a line
noshade do not shade the inner fence area
mlabel() marker labels for points beyond the inner fence (default none)
* other graphics options

Remarks
meansdplot plots means and standard deviations for multiple groups. This command is meant to be used in conjunction with tables of
means and standard deviations to graphically inspect data before running anova. There is an optional outwe fence which is useful in
screening for outliers. meansdplot does not produce a plot of confidence intervals and should not be interpreted as such.
Examples
. meansdplot write prog
. meansdplot write prog, outer(2)
. meansdplot write prog, outer(2) noshade noconnect
. meansdplot write prog, xlabel(1 "gen" 2 "acad" 3 "voc")
