In the spotlight: Finding and using results, constants, functions ... anything
Do you ever:
- Forget the name of the function that gives you the tail of the chi-squared distribution?
- Have trouble remembering how to reference a coefficient value in an expression, a test, or a linear combination?
- Have trouble accessing the mean or standard deviation after summarize?
- Need to know the maximum value that will fit in a byte variable?
- Want to see all the operators available in Stata expressions?
- Forget the order of arguments to the combinatorial function?
- Need today's date? Or the current time?
- Create some macros in your session and forget what they are named?
I sometimes do.
What do I do?

Regression Models for Categorical Dependent Variables Using Stata, Third Edition
Regression Models for Categorical Dependent Variables Using Stata, Third Edition, by J. Scott Long and Jeremy Freese, is an essential reference for those who use Stata to fit and interpret regression models for categorical data. Although regression models for categorical dependent variables are common, few texts explain how to interpret such models; this text decisively fills the void....

Probabilité et Statistique pour les Sciences de la Santé: Apprentissage au Moyen du Logiciel Stata
Probabilité et Statistique pour les Sciences de la Santé: Apprentissage au Moyen du Logiciel Stata, par Patrick Taffé, se veut un livre différent de nombreux ouvrages théoriques traitant des probabilités et de la statistique. Cet ouvrage (en français) non seulement présente, de façon rigoureuse, les concepts et méthodes statistiques, mais aussi utilise des exemples concrets pour illustrer chaque concept théorique nouvellement introduit....
In the spotlight: forecast for dynamic panel data and counterfactuals
The new forecast command in Stata 13 allows us to use estimates from models with time-varying components. The command transcends the time-series domain and allows us to compute forecasts in all models that take time-series operators in Stata. For instance, we can use it to compute forecasts after reg3 or after panel-data estimation. In the [TS] Time-Series Reference Manual, there is an example using reg3. I will illustrate an example using dynamic panel-data models....
