Chapter 4 - Stata 17 Code

[cvasoff]

• STATA CODE (p. 65 of textbook)
  For: *2 Get the conditional mean college attendance
  table wc, c(mean earn)

I get the following msg:
. table wc, c(mean earn)
option contents() not allowed since Stata 17; see help table for updated syntax

Apologies, I'm relatively new to Stata, and I do not see in the Stata help file how to obtain the conditional mean using updated syntax.

Thanks!

Hmm, shoot, I don't have access to Stata 17 to test it out, but it looks like maybe the syntax would be table wc, statistic(mean earn)?

Thank you, that worked! :-)
