Lab 4 (New)

This document discusses how to create various graphs in Stata, including histograms, bar graphs, box plots, and scatter plots. It uses Stata's auto and sample datasets to demonstrate how to generate one-way and two-way graphs, customize features like axis labels and colors, and group graphs by variables. Basic graphing commands in Stata include graph, histogram, bar, box, and twoway scatter. Options allow adding titles, changing symbols and colors, and presenting data grouped or stacked in the same graph.

64 bysort state: sum income
65
66 *What if we want to see this in a graph form?
67
68 graph bar income, by(state)
69
70 *Presentable:
71
72 graph bar income, over(state)
73
74 *Horizontal axis:
75
76 graph hbar income, over(state)
77
78 *What if we want to see the total income by state:
79

81
82
83
84 *Show the average of income by state and gender
85
86 graph hbar income, over(state) by(sex) //by will make different windows and over will make it in
the same graph
87
88 graph hbar income, over(state) over(sex)
89 //this will stack state and sex in the same window and show mean on the x-axis
90
91
92 *What to do if I want the median income in the graph?
93
94 graph hbar (median) income, over (state)
95
96 *Check mean and median income together?
97
98 graph hbar (median) income (mean) income , over (state)
99
100 *OR
101 graph hbar income (median) income, over (state)
102

114
115 //Box plot shows the distribution in which median is the middle line with the box representing the
IQ range.
116
117
118 *Scatter Plots: they tell you the relationship between two variables?
119
120 *first y variable and then x-variable:
121
122 graph twoway scatter rent size
123
124 *how to get rent separately for different states?

126 graph twoway scatter rent size, by(state)
127
128 //The over option does not work for this graph
129
130
131 *Options: Change the dots of the graph
132
133 graph twoway scatter rent size, msymbol (t)
134 //triangles instead of dots
135
136 *change colours
137
138 help colorstyle
139 // to see the colours available in stata
140
141 graph twoway scatter rent size, mcolor(lavender)
142
143 //Triangles and colour change together
144
145 graph twoway scatter rent size, mcolor(lime) msymbol (t)

147 *Change intensity of the color:
148
149 graph twoway scatter rent size, mcolor(lime*0.5) msymbol (t)
150
151 //We can choose the colour intensity from 0.1-0.9- the lower the number the lower the
intensity of colour
152
153
154 *Add labels, titles, subtitles:
155
156 graph twoway scatter rent size, mcolor(lavender) msymbol (t) xtitle(Size) ytitle(rent) title
