There has recently be a thread discussing -jmp-, a module for Stata written by
Ben Jann to perform Juhn-Murphy-Pierce decomposition.
Nick Cox <[email protected]> jumped to the mistaken conclusion that the
dicussion was about JMP, statistical software by SAS. I did too, and I
bet I'm not the only one.
The possibility for confusion is so great that I think Ben should rename
-jmp-. I know we at StataCorp would be irritated if there was a SAS program
-- even if user written -- called STATA. SAS deserves the same consideration.
I suggest Ben rename -jmp- to be -jmpierce- and then, if he is wedded to the
-jmp- name, let -jmp- be an abbreviation for -jmpierce-. Or Ben could
find another name that appeals to him.
