------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- help for tablist ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabulate Giving Output Like a List ---------------------------------- Syntax ------ tablist variable(s) [, sort( f | +f | v) list_options] The tablist command is useful when you want to make crosstabs of variables but you want the results to be in a list type format. An "n" way crosstab implies the need for some kind of an "n" way table. Instead, tablist treats each variable as a column makes an "n" way table by using "n" columns for the variables. This is especially useful when each variable has a small number of values, since this can yield a very compressed table summarizing the data. Options ------- By default, the data is sorted by the frequency of each combination, from the most frequent to the least frequent. You can use the sort( ) option to override this sort(f) - Sort by freq., from most frequent to least frequent (the default). sort(+f) - Sort by freq., from least frequent to most frequent. sort(v) - Sort by the values of the variables listed. list_options contain any of the options for the list command. Example ------- . tablist x1 x2 x3 x4 . tablist x1 x2 x3 x4, sort(+f) . tablist x1 x2 x3 x4, sort(v) . tablist x1 x2 x3 x4, divider noheader Author ------ Statistical Consulting Group Institute for Digital Research and Education, UCLA idrestat@ucla.edu
