st: New version of -bmjcip- on SSC

["Newson, Roger B" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the -bmjcip- package is now
available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to
download it.

The -bmjcip- command is described as below on my website. The old
version fixes a very stupid bug, which caused -bmjcip- to assume that
estimates were stored in a variable -estimate-, even if the user
specified otherwise. This is now fixed.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      bmjcip: Format confidence intervals and P-values for medical
journals

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      bmjcip reformats a list of numeric variables, containing
estimates,
      confidence limits and (optionally) P-values, to string variables,
containing
      the same values formatted for presentation in medical journals.
The new
      string variables replace the old numeric variables, and have the
same names,
      variable labels, and positions in the dataset.  bmjcip is usually
used in
      output datasets (or resultssets) produced by the parmest package,
and the
      reformatted string variables are later output using the listtex
package for
      input to Microsoft Word.  It requires the sdecode package in order
to work.
      The sdecode, parmest and listtex packages can all be downloaded
from SSC.
