Re: st: New Stata 11 version of -parmest- on SSC

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the -parmest- package is now
available for download on SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do
this, or -adoupdate- if you already have an old version of -parmest-.
The -parmest- package is described as below on my website. The new
version has been updated to Stata Version 11. The -parmby- module
can therefore now handle estimation commands with Stata 11 factor
variable lists. I have also added two new options -omit- and -empty-
to the -parmest- and -parmby- commands, allowing the user optionally
to create new indicator variables -omit- and -empty- (respectively)
in the output dataset (or resultsset), indicating whether the
corresponding parameter was omitted from the model because of
collinearity, or because it corresponds to an empty cell.
Roger is making all us people who haven't updated our packages yet to
work with Stata 11 look bad. :)
Does it take 5 minutes to update a program to take advantage of Stata
11? Or is it more complicated than that? I think it would be nice
if somebody at Stata or elsewhere did a little FAQ on this, if it
doesn't exist already. I imagine there will be a new version of the
Stata ML book sooner or later, but something in the meantime with
updates for Stata 11 would be helpful.
