st: New version of -haif- on SSC

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

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

The -haif- package is described as below on my website. The new version 
fixes a typo in the online help. I would like to thank my colleague 
Bernet Kato at Imperial College, London for drawing my attention to this.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      haif: Homoskedastic adjustment inflation factors for model selection

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      haif calculates homoskedastic adjustment inflation factors
      (HAIFs) for core variables in the corevarlist, caused by
      adjustment by the additional variables specified by addvars()
      and/or by sampling probability weights specified by pweights().
      HAIFs are calculated for the variances and standard errors of
      estimated linear regression parameters corresponding to the core
      variables.  For each variance (or standard error), the HAIF is
      defined as the ratio between that variance (or standard error) of
      that parameter, in a model containing both the core variables and
      the additional variables, with sampling probability weights, to
      the corresponding variance (or standard error) of the same
      parameter, in a model containing only the core variables, without
      sampling probability weights.  These ratios are calculated
      assuming that the second model is true, and also assuming that
      the outcome variable is homoskedastic (equal-variance), or
      heteroskedastic with variance ratios inverse to the corresponding
      ratios of the inverse variance weights.  haifcomp calculates the
      ratios between the HAIFs for the same core variables caused by
      adjustment for two alternative lists of additional variables
      and/or sampling probability weights, namely a numerator list
      and/or weighting and a denominator list and/or weighting.  haif
      and haifcomp are intended for use in model selection, allowing
      the user to choose a model based on the joint distribution of the
      exposures and confounders, before estimating the parameters of
      the model from the data on the outcome variable.
