Displaying first stage statistics of ivreg2 using estout in Stata

I am trying to add the first stage statistics from the command ivreg2

, namely AP F stat, to the output for the first stage results using estout

. I know that these statistics are stored in the matrix e(first)

from the second stage, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to represent these statistics in the results of the first stage. I tried the following and didn't work:

ivreg2 y `included' (q=z), first ffirst savefirst savefprefix(first_)
estimates store m1
estadd matrix first=first: first_q
estimates restore first_q

      

and then tried to include APF

as statistics in estout

and it doesn't work. I also tried adding the lines:

matrix first=e(first)
estadd scalar APF=first[7,1]

      

and that doesn't work either. I also tried to write a new subcommand _estadd_apf.ado

and couldn't get it to work, and tried using the syntax myel[#]

described in the help file estout

and that won't work either. (It looks like including parentheses anywhere in the parameter stats()

results in an error.) I also tried the aux()

wrapped parameter esttab

and it didn't work.

When I type matrix list first

I can see the correct APF value, but it is stored in a matrix, not a scalar, and estout

will not include it in the table, the cells are just empty. I also tried to just define a local scalar without using it estadd

, and that won't work either. Any suggestions?

Am I missing something? estadd scalar

seems to work in this case.
