st: QIC program for model selection in GEE analysis

[James Cui <James.Cui@med.monash.edu.au>]

Dear all,

I would like to announce that a general Stata program to calculate the 
QIC criterion for model selection in GEE analysis has been written. It 
covers all the distribution functions, all the link functions and all 
the correlation structures available in Stata. QIC is an extension to 
AIC in GEE.

Kit Baum has kindly uploaded this program onto SSC. Please feel free to 
try this program by -ssc whatsnew- and -ssc install qic-.

This is the first version of the program and hopefully there will be 
more update in the future.

Cheers

James.
