Thanks to Kit Baum an update of the -propcnsreg- package is now
available from SSC. With the propcnsreg package one can estimate
models with parametrically weighted covariates and MIMIC models.
Both are models for causal indicators, that is, they combine
information from multiple measurements of the same concept using
the assumption that these observed indicators influence the
underlying latent variable. These models imply, different from
-sheafcoef-, a testable constraint. A more complete describtion
can be found here: <http://www.maartenbuis.nl/software/propcnsreg.html>
This updated version should run quicker than the previous
versions. To install type in Stata -ssc instal propcnsreg, replace-.
