OUTTABLE: Stata module to write matrix to LaTeX table

Description

outtable automates the conversion of a Stata matrix to a LaTeX table, written to an external file. The table is presented with row and column names taken from the specified matrix. Thus, one need only generate the appropriate matrix using standard Stata commands. By default, only the lower triangle of a symmetric matrix will be written, as inferred by Stata's issym() function.

The using clause is required, and must specify the name of a file to which the LaTeX table is to be written, without the .tex extension. If the file exists, either the replace option or the append option must be specified.

The mat qualifier specifies the name of the existing matrix which is to be written in tabular form.
