Thanks to Kit Baum, various packages of mine have
just been added to or revised on SSC. To install
or reinstall a generic package <pkgname>, use
. ssc inst <pkgname>
or

For explanation of -ssc-, please see the first

1. New: -ciw-: binomial confidence intervals
for proportions using Wilson scores
-ciw- computes standard errors and binomial confidence
intervals for 0/1 variables. -ciwi- is the immediate
form of -ciw-, for which specify the number of observations
and the number of successes. With both commands confidence
intervals are calculated as Wilson score intervals.
Much more detail is given in the help.
Stata 7 is required.
2. Revised: -cij-: binomial confidence intervals
for proportions using Jeffreys prior
-cij- computes standard errors and binomial confidence intervals
for 0/1 variables. -ciji- is the immediate form of -cij-, for which
specify the number of observations and the number of successes.
With both commands confidence intervals are calculated based on
the Jeffreys uninformative prior of a beta distribution with
parameters 0.5 and 0.5.
Stata 7 is required.
What is new: more detailed discussion in help.
3. Revised: -distplot-: distribution function plots
-distplot- produces a plot of the cumulative distribution
function(s) for the variables in varlist. This shows the
proportion (or if desired the frequency) of values less
than or equal to each value.
This was last published in STB-51 in 1999.
Stata 7 is required.
What is new: Roger Harbord reported
on Statalist that -distplot- with a varlist
could not be coupled to a call to -symbol([varname])-
if varname was not included in varlist.
This is fixed. Thanks to Roger to pointing
out the problem, and indeed to indicating
an alternative approach. While fixing this,
I have updated code and help to Stata 7.
