Re: st: treatreg2

[Partha Deb <partha.deb@hunter.cuny.edu>]

Astrid and all,

-treatreg2- is a package I've been working on, but, in part because I haven't 
had the time to write things up, not made completely public.  It is available 
for installation, however, via http://urban.hunter.cuny.edu/~deb/Stata.

-treatreg2- models binary treatmen with a number of possibilities for the 
distribution of outcomes (currently negbin-1 and 2, and gamma, with more 
coming soon).  The treatment and outcome equations are "tied" via a latent 
factor which can be either symmetric (normal) or skewed (chi square or a 
reflected chi square - for negative skewness).  The model is estimated by MSL.

Best.
