Thanks David. The -nmp- adjustment is apparently not the adjustment
being made by SAS and SPSS, as using it does not yield the same
results. Given that SAS and SPSS think the adjustment they are doing
is good enough to make it the default, perhaps some future update of
Stata could add it as an option? It always annoys me when I can't
replicate results, because I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong
or if it is some fundamental difference in the programs.
Oh, and while you are at it, adding Alternating Logistic Regressions
would be nice too!
