Maarten - Upon trying the -betafit- program, I received a message about
a missing a text file (tpdf.txt). How do I obtain it? Are there any
other separate files for -betafit- or -dirifit- that need to be
downloaded? Thanks.

Subject: st: -betafit- and -dirifit- updated on ssc
Thanks to Kit Baum -betafit- and -dirifit- have been updated on SSC. To
get the update use -ssc install- or -adoupdate-. Descriptions of both
programs are added at the bottom of this message.
The main change is the addition of the command -dbetafit- to -betafit-
and -ddirifit- to -dirifit-. Both display various types of marginal
effects. In other words they help in making statements like "the
proportion of income spent on food decreases with 3 percentage points if
a persons salery increases by one thousand euros while keeping all other
variables at the mean". -betafit- and -dirifit- show effects in terms of
changes in log odds, which some find less interpretable.
The changes also include some bug fixes, improvements of the help files
and improved labeling of the output. Thanks to Pamala Wiepking and
Silvia Balia for useful comments.
Maarten
