Thanks to Kit Baum, new versions of the -listtex-, -parmest- and
-somersd- packages are now available for download from SSC. In Stata,
use the -ssc- command to do this.
The -listtex-, -parmest- and -somersd- packages are described as below
on my website. The new versions fix a bug, which caused them not to work
under certain rarely-used operating environments, which generate
-tempfile- names with embedded spaces. (See Pages 192-193 of -[P] macro-
in the Stata 9 manuals for details on tempfile names.) I have also taken
this opportunity to update and/or make minor corrections to the online
help and the .pdf manuals.
I would like to thank Phil Bardsley of the University of North Carolina
for informing me of the problem with tempfile names, and Ken Higbee of
StataCorp for advising me (via Statalist) that StataCorp now recommend a
policy of putting compound double quotes around tempfile references to
insure against embedded spaces and other rare characters.
Best wishes

package listtex from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata9
------------------------------------------------------------------------

TITLE
listtex: List variables as rows of a TeX, HTML or word processor
table
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
listtex outputs a list of variables to the Stata log or to a file
as TeX,
HTML or word processor table rows, which can then be inserted into
a TeX,
HTML or word processor table by cutting and pasting and/or file
linking
and/or embedding (eg using the TeX \input command). listtex
produces the
table rows, but may also produce a set of header lines before the
table
rows and/or footer lines after the table rows, containing
preambles and/or
table definitions and/or table headers and/or table footers, as
specified
by the user.

package parmest from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata9
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------
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.

package somersd from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata9
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------
TITLE
somersd: Kendall's tau-a, Somers' D and percentile slopes
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
The somersd package contains the programs somersd, censlope and
cendif,
which calculate confidence intervals for a range of parameters
behind
rank or "nonparametric" statistics. somersd calculates confidence
intervals for generalized Kendall's tau-a or Somers' D parameters,
and stores the estimates and their covariance matrix as estimation
results.
It can be used on left-censored, right-censored, clustered and/or
stratified data. censlope is an extended version of somersd, which
also
calculates confidence limits for the generalized Theil-Sen median
slopes
(or other percentile slopes) corresponding to the version of
Somers' D
or Kendall's tau-a estimated. cendif is an easy-to-use program to
calculate confidence intervals for Hodges-Lehmann median
differences
(or other percentile differences) between two groups. The somersd
package
can be used to calculate confidence intervals for a wide range of
rank-based parameters, which are special cases of Kendall's tau-a,
Somers' D or percentile slopes. These parameters include
differences
between proportions, Harrell's c index, areas under receiver
operating
characteristic (ROC) curves, differences between Harrell's c
indices or
ROC areas, Gini coefficients, population attributable risks,
median
differences, ratios, slopes and per-unit ratios, and the
parameters
behind the sign test and the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney or
Breslow-Gehan
ranksum tests. Full documentation of the programs (including
methods and
formulas) can be found in the manual files somersd.pdf,
censlope.pdf and
cendif.pdf, which can be viewed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
