Sorry everybody. The email quoted below was intended for Kit Baum. I have now sent it to him in readiness for his return to Boston. In the meantime, you have all had a sneak preview of my latest submission to SSC (and can of course download it from my website using -findit xglm-).

Best wishes

Roger

Hello Kit

During yor absence from Boston, I uploaded a new package -xglm-, which
is described as below on my website, and which I would like to submit
for distribution at SSC. It is currently downloadable from the Imperial
College FileExchange temporary URL

https://fileexchange.imperial.ac.uk/files/d0ae54a1ae/xglm.zip

and will be deleted on 24/06/2011 13:38:33.

The -xglm- package currently adds one extra estimation result to -glm-,
namely the scalar -e(depvarsum)-, giving the sum of the dependent
variable in the estimation sample. This result is useful if I do a
logistic regression and want to output the results to a -parmby-
resultsset complete with the numbers of observations and events. The
minimum of the number of events and the number of non-events can be
useful as a diagnostic, especially if divided by the number of
parameters (calculated from -e(df_m)-) to produce a number of events per
parameter, and to warn the user if this ratio is less than 5 (in which
case the Central Limit Theorem may not look after the user very well).

Best wishes (and thanks in advance, and hoping you had a nice time away
form Boston)
