I want to make compare two proportions of a categorical variable by two different explanatory variables. My categorical variable is edu (1=literate; 0=no edu) and my two explanatory variables are sex and region. How can I make test statistics to see if there is significant difference in the share of literate people for males Vs for those who live in two regions as shows in the example below?
Code:
clear
input sex region edu weight
1 2 0 230
1 3 1 200
0 3 0 240
1 1 1 250
1 2 1 300
0 3 0 280
0 1 0 180
1 1 1 340
1 2 0 270
0 1 1 210
end
lab def sex 0 "female" 1 "male"
lab val sex sex
lab def region 1 "sari" 2 "mexi" 3 "bata"
lab val region region
lab def edu 0 "no edu" 1 "literate"
lab val edu edu
sum edu if (region==1 | region==3)
sum edu if sex ==1
. sum edu if (region==1 region==3)
Variable Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
edu 7 .5714286 .5345225 0 1
. sum edu if sex ==1
Variable Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
edu 6 .6666667 .5163978 0 1
