st: new version of rct_minim available on SSC

["Philip Ryan" <philip.ryan@adelaide.edu.au>]

<<>>

Thanks as ever to Kit Baum an update of -rct_minim-  is now available on the
SSC server.

-rct_minim- allocates treatments to subjects in a randomised controlled
trial such that imbalance in prognostic factors across treatment arms is
minimized.

The main change in this version (2.1.0) is that Paul Millar's -matsort-
program, also available from SSC, is no longer a required subroutine for
-rct_minim- (thanks yet again to Kit for providing some Mata code to effect
this).  This change also dispenses with a  restriction on commercial use of
-rct_minim- imposed by its former dependence on -matsort-.

At the Stata prompt, type:

. ssc describe rct_minim
. ssc install rct_minim, replace

Happy New Year to all Listers.
