Just back from the wishes and grumbles at the Milan User Group Meeting and
now this message. Should have said that yesterday...
Anyway, StataCorp are listening in to the list...

Subject: st: some feature requests
I was just thinking about Stata 10.1 versus when I started using it (v7).
It is a much better environment now. What's missing for me?
Maybe nonlinear mixed models. Sometimes in pharmacology or genetics we
have nonlinear curves and hierarchical data sets.
Maybe some more covariance patterns in linear mixed models. Toeplitz has
been used in some of our genetics applications.
Also some of the chapters in West, Welch, and Galecki "Linear Mixed
Models" did not have complete models for Stata because of a lack of
features (e.g., allowing residual variances to vary between different
levels of a group variable).
I still on occasion use a rotating plot in another package (R, JMP or
Data Desk).
Maybe a book on linear algebra for statistics using Mata. I had thought
about translating Searle's text, but have no time.
