Plotting regression coefficients and other estimates
Abstract. Graphical display of regression results has become increasingly popular
in presentations and in scientific literature because graphs are often much easier
to read than tables. Such plots can be produced in Stata by the marginsplot
command (see [R] marginsplot). However, while marginsplot is versatile and
flexible, it has two major limitations: it can only process results left behind by
margins (see [R] margins), and it can handle only one set of results at a time.
In this article, I introduce a new command called coefplot that overcomes these
limitations. It plots results from any estimation command and combines results
from several models into one graph. The default behavior of coefplot is to plot
markers for coefficients and horizontal spikes for confidence intervals. However,
coefplot can also produce other types of graphs. I illustrate the capabilities of
coefplot by using a series of examples.
