st: New version of -parmest- on SSC

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

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

The -parmest- package is described as below on my website. In the new 
version, all 4 modules of the package (-parmcip-, -metaparm-, -parmest- 
and -parmby-) now have the new options -mcompare()- to select a 
multiple-comparisons method for adjustting the confidence limits and the 
P-values, and a -mcomci()- option to select a multiple-comparison method 
for adjusting the confidence limits only. Both of these options may have 
values -noadjust- (the default ), -bonferroni- (specifying the 
Bonferroni adjustment), or -sidak- (specifying the Sidak adjustment). 
Users who want to adjust the P-values and not the confidence limits, or 
even to use different methods to adjust the P-values and the confidence 
limits, are advised to use the -qqvalue- package, which you can also 
download from SSC.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      parmest: Create datasets with 1 observation per estimated parameter

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      The parmest package has 4 modules: parmest, parmby, parmcip and 
metaparm.
      parmest creates an output dataset, with 1 observation per 
parameter of the
      most recent estimation results, and variables corresponding to 
parameter names,
      estimates, standard errors, z- or t-test statistics, P-values, 
confidence
      limits and other parameter attributes. parmby is a quasi-byable 
extension to
      parmest, which calls an estimation command, and creates a new 
dataset, with 1
      observation per parameter if the by() option is unspecified, or 1 
observation
      per parameter per by-group if the by() option is specified. 
parmcip inputs
      variables containing estimates, standard errors and (optionally) 
degrees of
      freedom, and computes new variables containing confidence 
intervals and
      P-values. metaparm inputs a parmest-type dataset with 1 
observation for each
      of a set of independently-estimated parameters, and outputs a 
dataset with
      1 observation for each of a set of linear combinations of these 
parameters,
      with confidence intervals and P-values, as for a meta-analysis. 
The output
      datasets created by parmest, parmby or metaparm  may be listed to 
the Stata
      log and/or saved to a file and/or retained in memory (overwriting any
      pre-existing dataset). The confidence intervals, P-values and 
other parameter
      attributes in the dataset may be listed and/or plotted and/or 
tabulated.
