st: Package MCMCCQREG up on SSC

Dear all --
Once again due to Kit Baum, a new package/stata command - mcmccqreg -
is now available on SSC. Details follow!
Best,
Matt Baker
Description: mcmccqreg can be used to "fit" Powell's (1984, 1986)
censored quantile regression model(s) using adaptive Markov chain
Monte Carlo simulation. More precisely, mcmccqreg produces draws from
the parameter distribution implied by the objective function, and then
presents summary
statistics describing the results of the draws. Detailed analysis of
the draws is left to the user. Implementation details are discussed in
Baker (2013), and the general theory in Chernozhukov and Hong (2003).
KW: Adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo
KW: Censored quantile regression
KW: Median estimator
Requires: Stata version 11.2
Requires: package moremata
Requires: package amcmc
