Dear stata members,
Thanks to Prof. Baum, a new Stata command is available from the SSC
archives:
-checkfor2- A Stata module to check whether a variable exists or not in a
dataset.
Description:
checkfor2 is a routine to check for existence of a list of variables within a
(usually big) data set.
checkfor2 searchs through the data whether the variable exists. If it does not,
a message is issued.
If it does, the program looks for missings structure. Finally, if requested, the
program stores the
available variables in a macro for future use. A tolerance level for missings
could also be set.
Two importants problems were detected by Nick that have been fixed.
To install the package, type:
.ssc install checkfor2, replace
Best regards
Amadou.

Subject: st: New commands in SSC: -svyselmlog- and -svybsamp2-
Thanks to Prof. Baum, two new Stata commands are available from the SSC
archives:
-svyselmlog- Selectivity adjustment based on the multinomial logit for
survey data.
DESCRIPTION
-svyselmlog- estimates the parameters of the main equation correcting for
selectivity using the conditional probabilities from a multinomial
logit. -svyselmlog- allows for three parametric selectivity-correction
methods like the ones developed in Lee (1984), Durbin and McFadden (1984)
and Bourguignon, Fournier and Gurgand (2004). Additionally, selectivity can
be adjusted following Dahl's (2002) semi-parametric method.
-svybsamp2- Re-sampling for complex survey data
DESCRIPTION
-svybsamp2- creates a new data set with _N randomly drawn observations (with
replacement). As with -svysamp-, the procedure respects survey design,
re-sampling within different combinations of strata and PSU. Therefore using
the inflation factors (pweights), the new sample can be used to get to the
original "super-population".
To install the packages, type:
.ssc install svyselmlog
.ssc install svybsamp2
