st: New package -creplace- on SSC

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

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new package -creplace- is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this.

The -creplace- command is described as below on my website. It will probably be used mostly for exchanging values of upper and lower confidence limit variables in -parmest- resultssets, following the application of a decreasing end-point transformation to the estimates and confidence limits.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      creplace: Exchange values cyclically between variables

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      creplace is an extended version of replace, which exchanges values
      cyclically between variables in a list of two or more variables.  By
      default, the values in each variable are replaced by values from the
      next variable in the list, or by values from the first variable, in
      the case of the last variable.  Optionally, the values in each
      variable are replaced by values from the previous variable in the
      list, or by values from the last variable, in the case of the first
      variable.  If there are only two variables in the list, then their
      values will simply be exchanged.  Variables in the list must be all
      numeric or all string.  After exchanging the values, creplace will
      compress these variables to the smallest storage type possible without
      loss of information.
