Thank you Nick and Kit for your feedback.
Sorry about that, Nick.
If I were a native english speaker (or had a few minutes more per day) I
would certainly try to be less "diffuse and exaggerated to allow a
worthwhile detailed reply". Adjusting for these two confounders, I think
my previous message expresses the truth, and only the truth. Don´t worry,
Nick Cox´s packages are the best (clear and well documented!) we have when
working with Stata!
All the best,
Tiago

have no idea about which tests are employed! Frenquently, it is easier
to compare results to known packages such as SPSS, GraphPad or even R! -
instead of opening codes and try to decipher each code.

-set tracehilite- is very helpful in this exercise...

Dear Statalisters,
