st: New version of -estparm- on SSC

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

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the -estparm- package is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this, or -adoupdate- if you already have an existing version of -estparm-.

The -estparm- package is describned as below on my website. The new version is updated to Stata Version 11, and also fixes a rarely-encountered bug which caused -estparm- to fail uninformatively if only one parameter was input. I have also added a new option -dfcombime()-, specifying how the input degrees of freedom are combined to give a scalar degrees of freedom for the estimation results, and a new matrix estimation result -df_estparm-, containing the degrees-of-freedom vector, although this vector is not used in default by -estparmtest-.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      estparm: Save results from a parmest resultsset and test equality

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      estparm is an inverse of parmest.  It inputs 2 or 3 variables in
      the varlist, containing parameter estimates, standard errors, and
      (optionally) degrees of freedom.  It saves a set of estimation
      results for the parameters, assuming that the parameter estimates
      are statistically independent.  estparmtest is an extended version
      of estparm, which also performs a chi-squared or F test of the
      hypothesis that all these parameters are equal.  estparmtest can be
      used for performing interaction tests, using data from regression
      models for multiple subsets, stored in a parmest or parmby output
      dataset (or resultsset).
