In the spotlight: Bayesian "random-effects" models
Stata 14 introduced bayesmh for fitting Bayesian models. You can choose from one of many built-in models or write your own.
In this article, we show you how to use bayesmh to fit a Bayesian "random-effects" model. We write "random effects" in quotes because all effects (parameters) are considered random within the Bayesian framework. These models are typically referred to as Bayesian multilevel or Bayesian hierarchical models.

In the spotlight: Formatting Excel® tables from within Stata
New capabilities of putexcel in Stata 14 let you format cells and fonts in Excel. This means that you can now easily export matrices, expressions, and stored results from Stata to Excel and control how they appear. You can also insert Stata graphs and add cell formulas. Now it's easy to format the cells to create custom tables or reports

Testing for endogeneity: New feature for eteffects in Stata 14
There has been great interest in Stata 14's eteffects, which obtains treatment effects when unobserved variables affect both treatment assignment and outcomes.
We have enhanced eteffects. We can now test if the unobserved variable affects both outcome and treatment.
