Speaking Stata: Graphing categorical and compositional data
Abstract. A variety of graphs have been devised for categorical and compositional
data, ranging from widely familiar to more unusual displays. Both official
Stata commands and user-written programs are available. After a stacking
trick for binary responses is explained, bar charts and related displays for
cross-tabulations are discussed in detail. Tips and tricks are introduced
for plotting cumulative distributions of graded (ordinal) data. Triangular
plots are explained for three-way compositions, such as three proportions or
percentages.
